Well, R-speed went up to the Glen. We had a blast. The Glen is a very scary but fun track. It is very high speed and extremely technical. I would write more, but I just got in and I am very tired. Look at the pics below:

Front gate at 6am Monday Morning


The bar at the Seneca Lodge


Beer me


Dinner at the Seneca Lodge


Drivers Meeting


Garage


NSX (crashed it slightly into the tire wall at turn 6...a very very scary turn)


Finally, R-speed

 

Great turnout... Wish I could have made it.

 

T'was a very fun event (even though I didn't "drive"), and very nice meeing all of you and putting some faces with those H-T screen names.

 

Just got back from "The Glen", what a excellent (but scary as hell) track. The "blue bushes" were tough to look past, so I think everyone turned it back one notch. NASA northeast did a good job with the event, we got 5 sessions each day (6 for advanced on Monday). They did a track walk at the end of the day Monday where they loaded everyone into a couple trucks (and Matt's police cruiser) and drove us from corner to corner. Walking each corner really gave you a much different prospective then being in your car. I only took a few pics because I was too busy driving with all the track time that was available.

Nicy nice!


The R-Speed BBQ (Thanks, David)

limerock is the next event to be rspeedowned.

 

grrrrr.......:regrets:

I got some other oppurtunities for racing events this weekend, I'll post when I gets back. I will try my best to get my hands on them Formula Renaults and get those missed tracktime, :fingers crossed:

Oh man...so Ken went into that tire wall? Aluminum body should be pretty expensive to fix

I'll be at LRP for sho, it's the last event of the year. I don't want to wait till next spring. I must re-own corner 3 and overcome that sonofabitch.

that wasn't ken at the glen. guy had the same license plate but from a different state.

 

Lance.....I didn't know that was you and Aaron until I passed both of you
(thanks for moving to the right to let me pass )

 

Wow! Looks and sounds like everyone had a great time. I'm sorry I missed out, but glad to see everyone had fun and is in good shape. I need to get my passenger seat up and running soon for the limerock event.

That's not Ken from the Chicago area. His NSX is red, just that this black one has the same plate as his.

 

no problem, brotha.

you guys came out of nowhere. i hear a faint exhaust sound over the radio and then 4 R's blew past me.

aaron and i were just taking it easy and cruising between 75 and 80

 

I was doing ~110 when I pass you. I saw an Integra up front but I had no idea it was 2 ITR.

 

Glad you guys had fun, wish I could have gotten out of work for that

Everyone?

not only my car

but the event itself i was dissapointed.....
the instruction was horrible

NASA VA was much better

 

My only prior NASA NE event was Lime Rock and they had plenty of instructors available. I'm not sure what the situation was with this particular event but they were seriously short on instructors. And the few instructors that were available were a bit taxed on their work load.

 

and thanks guys for respecting enough to not post pictures

i'd rather not have it online

 

i was around the glen (home from school for my birthday) and saw a cpl ppl's cars up at the lodge... i saw a white R with mugen style wing next to a z06, red ek hatch and an ebp si .... also saw what looked like 3 black r's next to each other... wish that it woulda been an open event i woulda loved to be able to have watched it...

well I just woke up and need to get ready for work, so I'll post pics later.

but It was a great experience driving on the Glen, very intimidating (blue bushes ) but I didn't let it get the best of me. Had lots of FUN!

and very glad everyone made it home in one piece
