Sounds Great!

Jaypod · 07-29-2011, 07:46 PM

Sounds Good! Pej - tell the office you need to leave early as you have developed an interest in geriatrics and want to accompany Duncan to the Glen so he arrives safely...

LOL, I wish.
I had to jump through hoops to get the Monday and Tuesday off.

Anyone bringing a jack? Mine died this week. I might just use my street tires, looks like rain on Monday.

Hey guys, been up north almost the whole month with no phone, no internet.....heaven!!! Anyways, I'll meet up with you in the a.m. at the Casablanca T.H's but I'm gonna be stopping at Duty Free and then a couple places in Buffalo before heading further east - I'll catch up at the hotel later in the afternoon.

Looking forward to it!!!! Mark

Gearhead999s · 07-30-2011, 09:38 PM

See you guys in the AM.

ZWEAPON · 07-31-2011, 12:04 AM

Hope so....

montreal red · 08-02-2011, 05:47 PM

i didnt get to say good bye to quite a few of you but i had an excellent time at WG... it was my first time at this track and i love this track... its definitely one of my top 3 tracks (along with mosport and tremblant).

it was nice to meet all the other ontario M guys! lots of excellent looking fast cars.

Gearhead thanks for convincing us Montrealers to join the event. i thought it was well organized with lots of track time. i'll be back next year!

It was great to meet all you Quebecers even the guy who parked his car backwards coming out of the Bustop when we were 1st running the Nascar short course

What a great 2 days of tracktime on a really great old school track!Big entry with lots of really fast cars which were able to stretch their legs on this very fast track.It was too bad about the incidents that cut a few peoples days short but overall it was an excellent time

my very last lap at watkins on the 2nd day....youu can hear my car run over one of the vette's parts...

Pretty good debris field there for sure

Apparently that is not the 1st time that car has met the wall at WGI.

STALKER · 08-03-2011, 07:50 AM

Amazing event. Had a great time and nice meeting everyone and seeing the regulars.

Definitely will be going back next year.

Jaypod · 08-03-2011, 08:04 AM

Great event! Great to see everyone out - even the Quebecers....

Unfortunate incident with the vette. That guy is quick! He had some issues with his car and did not run it much. Back in may - other than the Diasio - he was certainly by far the quickest (other than maybe the instructor with GTR).

Looking forward to Mosport at the end of the month and getting back to the Glen next year.

STALKER · 08-03-2011, 02:00 PM

I guess that incident happened after I left.

Schweigun · 08-03-2011, 06:09 PM

What an event! All I can hear in my head is gear changes and exhaust noise bouncing off the wall of the front straight.
Jay, Duncan, Mark & Steve great meeting all of you. Big thanks to Duncan for a great lesson on Day 1. I admit I wet myself a bit in your car, hope it didn't leave a stain.
I'm in next year for sure. Will have to start thinking of what car to move into within a few months leading up to the event.
