Pez made it back to the 'Ville. Yeah traffic sucked, luckily I got the surround sound working from my laptop through the stereo, just kicked back and watched a couple of movies...

Glad to hear the Silverstone made it off the mountain.

You could have driven the turbo Buick this time, how could an NSX be better than that?

Did you follow a GPW, SPA & Silverstone from the Dragon to Alcoa ?

Someone was behind us for a good hour and finally we stopped to eat and I saw the PA plates.
No I was behind 3 black ones for a while from Fontana to Knoxville

I made it home, amazing how fast 3 days went by, I feel like I didnt get to do anything! We sure did wear the pavement down on the dragon, twice on friday twice on saturday, plus a grocery run. We made a video in the rain, props to the hankooks for handling in the rain, other than a couple of hydroplains they were surprsingly sticky on the dragon. The only problems we had were that the resort gave us a dumpy cabin and the power and cable were out for the latter half of saturday and half the day sunday. We actually ended up with a nicer cabin thank goodness. Nice to meet some people, the few we got to meet, the dragon sucked us in for most of the time hehe. Thanks to everyone for organizing the meet, hopefully the weather will permit more outdoor activities next time! Shock

Good to see you made it home, CBabe. Thanks again to you, Motoo, Les, Mitch and the rest of the crew for such hospitality
Any time. I think we have a reputation as decent hosts.

Next time bring Lisa.

A good time was had. Hope to see everyone back in September. On the way home I think I talked to the wife into drving the S down in Sept. so I can bring the NSX in Sept. too. Good news for you Shelia. That means you can drive the NSX in Sept. (Are you jealous Ron?)
I would be jealous, but Sheila and I are married. I get 50% of everything.

I'll be waiting 5.5 miles in.
