Last Day - Last events

We are at Tire Rack in South Bend IN for the final event and a banquet.

Jim was first on the dry skid pad, as we are exhibition class, with the backup car - not our starting car, and he did great for having all season Goodyears on the car.  0.893 Gs and until we got half way through the field, his score was one of the best.  Catesby Jones 1.102 Gs was a new record for this skid pad, beating last year's 1.098 Gs done by Leh Keen.  Interestingly, Leh Keen, in a different car than last year, did exactly the same both years, at the 1.098 Gs.  Last year he was running a Porsche 996 and this year he has a Nissan GTR, both with many mods I am sure.

We are watching cars leave for home, before the banquet, but we plan on staying for the banquet and then leaving. They just announced that the banquet would start an hour early at 11:50 instead of 1:00.  After the banquet we will start our trip to Summit Point WV and stay overnight there.  Tomorrow we will be able to get Jim's trailer picked up at Summit Point and get back to Lancaster County.

Thanks for following us, and remember - we are supporting PA Breast Cancer Coalition and will be accepting donations, and adding stickers to my car all year.  I plan on showing it at all events that we can get to.  A $10 minimum donation will get a Pink Ribbon sticker on the car, and you can have a name on that sticker.  You can have a sticker in honor or in memory of anyone who had any kind of cancer.  My wife suffered with Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma and I have her sticker on the car.

More later. Rick
