Autobahn Country Club

We arrived at Autobahn Country Club (a car racing club) Friday morning after that horrible hotel stay.  Jim walked the course immediately and I did my thing, unpacking and prepping he car for a run.  The macadam was a bit wet, so after we realized things were picking up moisture, we moved to a dryer spot, and laid some towels and Jim's racing suit bag out to dry.

We are running last, with a vengeance!  Jim's competitive spirit has kicked in and he is having a ball running the car.  We picked up another exhibition team, in a rental, base Camaro, instead of their Porsche GT3. 

The morning session was on their North Track, while their members used the South track for their events.  In the afternoon, we swapped tracks, and ran on the South track.  For some reason, Brocker put the Camaro in front of Jim, and Jim caught up and passed him on the third lap.  Oh well, more fun times and no points for either, so no one was held back by the positioning.

Everyone took their time getting out, since the drive that night was only 105 or so miles.  We decided to go to the Sleep Inn and found a fantastic hotel, on par with Hampton Inn and made our last night on the road enjoyable.  Scott and Nick were there also, and we joined about 20 - 30 other cars at The Pub.
