No, just my backing plates and piston. Not my proudest moment so I deserve all the ribbing I get.


Woody, I felt very sad for you when I saw the stripes on the grill and realized the mangled M3 was your old car. Its like loosing a pet

Was someone else driving your car, Woody?

The skid pad was really fun; I enjoyed the whole event, I had missed all the old buddies, thanks for a great organization.

Few couple of seconds of skid pad exercise on Sunday:

Nice Pictures! Thanks for posting.
Guess that was the morning instructor run group, so I don't get to see myself, missed the first session.
Bob obviously felt the need to compete with some of our other instructors for the "best equipment demolisher" title! The competition is tough, but I think he is in the top 10 with this entry (full cars don't count).

Are we still taking donations for the D. Blinken gas fund?

^ Ahahahahahaaaa......he was my instructor, so if my driving was a little crazy you now have an idea why.

You missed a beautiful and warmer day on Sunday. There was one unfortunate incident on Sunday morning involving a D Student. From instructor reports, he early apexed Turn 9 at speed, got the left two wheels off, and (rather than driving straight off and braking) tried to correct by turning the wheel to the right; once the front tires grabbed, that sent the car across the track into the inside tire wall, coming to a rest with the driver's side door on the ground. Happily, no reported injuries to the student or instructor.

Otherwise, a pretty clean event with not many offs. New track repair patches in the corners provide good traction. In my last session on Sunday, after a black flag for a possibly coolant leak, a suicidal groundhog at the outside edge of the track at the exit of Turn 1, responding to my honking horn by scampering across the track in front of me; I swerved, so fortunately no roadkill trophy this event.

I wish I could have hung around for Sunday, but I had to babysit communications equipment at work. I need a job that allows me to work around performance cars.

DOH. Forgot about that. Gee, I'm sorry you had to see your old friend go down like that.
