Another great day at the track....little damp around the edges to start but soon dried up. Couple of vehicles got trailered to the event others saw their first hint of rain on the drive to the track but all saw the fun side once the green flag dropped on the session.
Very much enjoyed the lunchtime conversations that occur at these events, always interesting people to go along with the interesting cars.

Can't wait for the next one!!!

Great job today everyone, marshals and volunteers!

See you all on Sept 1st and finally on Sept 6th for the final AFRA Track Days of the year.

Forecast is saying 25-30 mm of rain on Monday ... do these get canceled?

Also can I "sign up" but pay at the track?

I noticed that after I paid...hoping it changes. I'll have to cancel if it pours rain, I hate getting wet.

Forecast is looking better now!

...at least you guys get to sit in your cars or the Guthrie building, the corner workers have to stand in the "corner" all day !!!

We're running short on marshals for Monday.
If anyone is available or knows someone that is able, please let me know asap.

I got us a marshal...

Damn life. U-Haul trailer picked up and on truck, car as ready as it ever is, and pre-registration for this afternoon paid.. .and life has happened. Don't think I can make it. Already out on the trailer rental. Can the registration be reversed/held over for a different day etc?

Thank you to AFRA and all the volunteers today. It was great to finally get back out on the track. Great day


Here's a lap in the EVO.

What....no pictures of the smoking brakes...almost looked like a real race car !!

Man that was a goodtime at the track...great cars, good weather and positive discussions...can't ask for much more.

PS...big thanks to my nephew, Ryan for lending a hand today.

Thanks everybody for you time and effort in putting together another great day, and another successful season.
My apologies for the delay caused by my minor electrical accessory failure. I hope everybody still got all the time they wanted.

Thanks guys. See you next year! Had a good time feeling out the new (to me) 911. Below is one of my earlier runs. Love this thing to death... but then it did try to kill me with some throttle sticking when I began to push it hard on the straights... . Going into 7 and 1 with unintended full throttle is not fun. Winter project to dial out the homicidal from the throttle.

At the end I squealed my tires fighting the throttle into turn one. My chest looked like Magnum PI when I got home that night.
