So... now that it's a few weeks later and I've had time to reflect...

First and foremost... I want to thank Wes. I must have bombarded this guy with more questions than anyone leading up to and at the Event. Thanks a TON!!!

To the committee. You guys rock. Thanks for all of the pre-Expo information such as run groups and instructor pairing. That kind of info was great to have this year before ever even arriving.

To the sponsers. There were some kick *** prizes this year!!! Glad you guys continue to support our Expo. Without you, I'm not sure if these events would be the same.

Special thanks to Ed, whom I won the Mugen Gen 1 spoiler from. Thanks d00d!

Thanks to my pops, my girl and my buddy who cam with, Brian. Those 3 kept me going during the event with waters, food when needed and just moral support. And Sr. for putting in the hard work just days before Expo.

Big thanks to Bradstart for letting me take apart his ride while trying to diagnose a problem I was having with my car. While we didn't get it fixed, it was still a big step in the diagnosis.

Big thanks to all the drivers in the Adv. group. This was my first event running Adv. and i was a little worried with the open passing thing. Very respectful group who still left plenty of room on track.

Big ups to Target again, for the second year in a row he's brought me another bottle of the wicked green ****... (little did he know, the last bottle was finished just days before Expo when I made Chris finish it with me) :absenthe:

And lastly, all the drivers, guests and folks who continue to support the Expo. Truely we would not have these anymore without registered drivers and the likes.

So enough rambling and thanks. I had a blast. This year was different because I had a crazy Canadian come all the way from B.C. Chris... I had a **** ton of fun while you were here. The Disney shiz ROCKED!!! Your more than welcome to come back any time you'd like.

So... since there weren't very many Adv. group pics posted... here is what I have. Please forgive the photographer... my girl... And please forgive all the pics of me... There are still some of the other drivers. If any of you want the full res shots, LMK. These pics are unedited other than to resize.

Enjoy.

The Midge... SHANANGINS!!!!

Somehow these few got left off...

 

Good stuff Dave.
Your woman took these? So she made the trip, put with your mustache and everybody else, kept Honey 2 tiddy, AND took these snaps?

I'd say she's a keeper.

 

Damn Dave, she took a **** ton of pics, good ones too Had an awesome time hanging out with you guys

 

Great pics! We'll see you at Lemons next month

Will we see the Honey 2 at Lemons???

 

Awwwwwww. Look at Chris with his Spidey blankey.

Yeah hope you got her a pair 0' ears too. Mickey & Minnie FTW!

 

Awesome pictures! She did a good job. It was great seeing you again as always Dave.

Yes sir... and she's a novice pic taker... Me thinks I'm going to send her to some classes. She's a work horse man... I never come home to a dirty house.

Woot. I totally forgot to mention that above. This year I made it a point to meet new faces. And that I did. You, Ultraspeed and a few others by camp and then a few more in the paddock area. It's so hard to do the event, stay hydrated and still BS with folks. Especially in the heat we had this year.

I doubt Honey 2 will be at Lemons... it was just shy of $1200 to get her to VIR. I'd imagine around $800 to CMP. I'll just take a cot in your trailer. LMK what I need to bring like a grill and such.

His choices were Spidey or Princess... Henry took the princess room (even though Chris said he'd take the princess long before Expo when I sent him pics of it)

She don't need ears... LOL That was from my last trip to Disney, and before Expo started. Getting Chris hyped up for the week ahead. I do however have a pic of Chris at Disney in Minnie ears with a bow.

at least i got to meet you, dave, in greensboro when the MW caravan met up with you guys. i didn't realize till like tuesday that you fools were camped out way the hell back in the corner. next time, i'll take my lazy *** out in the sun and across the parking lot to make a better effort to meet the other half of the folks camped out on the other side.

 

Makes me want to go sort through more of my pics

Woot. Yeah... we tend to stay away from... wait for it... SHENANIGANS by being back there... while we have our own going on... it's nice to not be in the middle of everything going on. That and the shade the tree's provide during the day makes it a little more bearable.

You might need to get her something nice to use like an SLR or something. She's got the eye.

I bet that is an SLR, look at all the crap on the sensor you can see in the pics. Dave B even has my cleaning stuff

Dave: I'm going to TRY to get over there this weekend to get the bike and ish, I'll clean j00r camera then.

 

Nice pics. Your girl definitely has a good eye for shots and locations.

 

Great pics...i finally get to see some pics of my car on track.
And its nice seeing diff shots of the track.

Great work

Ya know... I wasn't going to post them until I saw the lack of Adv. pics. Damn Adv. drivers are the same as the good photog guys. I did see Ryan and ROR walking around a bit though...
