What a blast to see so many of you.
Who ever has pictures- please make sure that Ron receives copies so that
1) he can be envious he was not there
2) he can post them to an album on our web-site
Definiely we should do this again. Perhaps for IRL in August, but more
likely for the SCCA meet in October (both at Infineon). Serious racing is
both expensive and requires commitments. One has to take several classes for
a race license. However there may be other opportunities for track days
without a license? I know that car clubs often do this.
Once again thanks to all who joined us, and to everyone for settling their
debts for tickets without further prompting- I am encouraged to do the same
again the next time!
