What a day!!!! Tons of rain (never drove on a soaked track before) and dry track in between. It was an absolute blast. The drive down was wet and nasty but we all made it in one piece. John and Nash towed, the rest of us followed in the cars.

Once in Portland we ate at Red Robin and headed back to the Hotel. Slipped into the hot tub (sorry, no pics of that )

Woke up at 5:00 a.m. showered and put my car back together (after disabling it) for fear of phuking thieves. Ended up at the track around 7 (still dark) to get set up and we were on the track by 9ish. It was good seeing James, Scott and Greg again. A big thanks to Greg for riding along one session and giving me some pointers. Anyway, enough talking, here are the pics.

The all stars:

Homesick for PIR in the rain - waaah!

Funny part of it is...I was parked out in the front lot, passed out in the rental car from a night out at Exotica. You guys woke my *** up from all those loud cars buzzing around the track!

 

Oooooooooooo....Exotica? Sounds, uh, exotic. Any pictures of that?

What a great day! It rained... it poured... I didn't drive...it blew.

But it was good seeing all the NW dudes in the paddock with their 1.5 tons of tents, tarps, tires and tools...but no cooler? WTF?

It was great to ride around in some Hondas that actually made your head hit the headrest for a change! Nash and Zach have a couple of cars that are real thrills to ride in. It's always good to look across to the driver and see he's equiped with an anti-sub belt and a harness, wearing a balaclava and wearing gloves,and of course sitting in a full race seat, while I check the functionality of the stock belt lock mechinism on the passenger side.

It was really a fun day, although my pig was back in the garage...sick.

Greg - Mr. Yellow

Brad - Herr Blau (as in kraut blue)

Scott - Mr. White (as in "lightning") or Mr. Brown (as in "streak")

I've put alot of track miles on my car, not one of them from the passenger seat though Thanks for riding!

 

Just for the record. I am mr. blue<U>car</U> . Not to be confused with Scott's new friend Mr. blue. "this land is your land and i am a nutcase"

No problem... I had a blast. But I never will get used to being on track sitting in a bouncy stock seat and wearing a thin seatbelt.

Nice driving BTW. You and Nash should concider getting a race kaa and put those mad skillz to the test.

I'll have Nash chime in on this one. I think it's a Nikon or Canon Digital SLR. I'm sure Pat could suck Scott up on the straight as the Rex puts 300 to the wheels, but I don't think he has the nads to hold him off in the turns.

Canon E10D (Digital SLR) - trust me when I say it is a pleasure taking pictures with that camera. What you see in the albums is approximately 180 pictures out of 850 that were taken.

Nash - Mr. WhiteARRRR according to Greg

 

Hell yea, nice camera!

 

Hey guys.

I don't have 300 to the wheels. I was dyno'd at 232 on a conservative dyno.

I think the ITR had me pretty much everywhere but what do you expect for a car that has about 500-700 lbs on me. I still have a full street interior.
