i just want to tell everyone that wasnt able to go how good a time we all had. Dave and Chad were out kicking ass in HPDE1 with me... we all had a great time and were able to help each other out at times with lines and stuff. Thanks to Evan and RJ for input... and just being instructors, without you guys the rest of us wont learn... we cant get more advice and second opinions! It was good to see you guys again! One of the workers chime in and let them know how your weekend went. If you want to learn how to drive well, VIR full course is for you! you wont get one till next year, but north course will be just as much fun! there were alot of great cars out, mostly vipers and porches. if euro images didnt make their pics so big i would post mine... i might still after i resize them!
yeah as far as from a worker's standpoint, it was a great weekend. We couldn't have asked for better weather and the MM turnout was great. The hotel was much better than the old one and the MM banner stood out above all paddock tents. I worked grid and helped line up all the cars before the schools and races. I'd like to thank the new MM drivers for always being ready with track passes and remembering the small details that I was in charge of checking. There was always some guy who failed to have a pass or put his windows down, but not MM. I'd encourage those who didn't go to make the next event.

Working was great. I learned more than I ever could have expected to learn, from a combination of working and the MM members showing me new stuff. Working tech taught me a lot about what has to be done to a car in order to make it track ready, and by the end of the weekend, they had me doing tech inspections by myself. Timing and scoring was also fun, but not as much so as tech.
Thanks to Evan, RJ, and Gerald for taking me for rides and teaching me about propers lines and how to handle the car. The hotel was great, and everyone at the event was helpful and willing to answer questions. I had a great time!

While RJ was on a cooldown lap on his way into the pits....
Only time I saw that guy all day.

god, that's what I was hoping, that you were headed for the pits, that M3 shouldn't be able to stomp on you like that! :lol:
I went ahead and lost what little respect I had for you anyway, just in case. :wink:
Oh, and that was one of the cooler in car vids I've seen (had it played smoothly, that would have been nicer), but anyone know how he got the accelerometer readings on the vid? That was SWEET! Seems like I've heard of such a system, who do I have to kill around here to get one?
