I had Marco Andretti, and he was saying the same things. "Does this guy know we're on a schedule," he said, referring to the pace driver. Then when we pulled onto pit lane he said, "I need a porta-jon." The drivers probably planned on having a few free minutes between the parade lap and the race.

Thanks a lot, Pete!

Thats why it was nice being in the back, the last 5 or so of us, didnt have a passenger. We got basically a free 1/2 lap of the track at decent speed.

I'm glad everyone had a good time. Days like yesterday make me hope we'll have the opportunity to do this again.

Oh yeah, thanks for the help with getting rid of our interloper.

Thanks everyone for taking time to decal your car and come out to races. I thank you and Mid Ohio thanks you. Any photos that Mid Oh took, they will email me and I'll post them up.
I'm currently watching the pre race and there is plenty of camera time of the S2000s. A great shot of our cars doing 5mph on the back straight :)

Thank you, Pete. Can't say enough good things about this weekend. Coolest...thing....EVER. I only hope I get to do it again next year.

Ana Beatriz (Bia) was a perfect choice for me. She's from Sao Paulo and I worked there for 3 years, so we chatted almost the whole lap. I really appreciate people who don't have to be nice, but are anyway. I was also surprised by the Honda/Mid-Ohio guy thanking us on the track for doing this. That was very cool.

Next year, though, we need a pace car driver that can do math. 2.25 miles at 5MPH is a 27 minute lap! Bia and I were worried the race would be late starting as we wouldn't get back in time.

I would also like to thank Pete for organizing such a great event! Also, it was great to meet some of you for the first time and hope to see you all again. It's reasons like these that make me (and I'm sure others) proud to own such a unique vehicle. :D

Thanks again Pete and everyone for their efforts on making this weekend spectacular. It was very cool driving Simona around the track and she was nice. Her and Helio talked back and forth a little about how slow we were going :LOL:

I have a bunch of pics of you and your car if you want them.. either find me on facebook or i can email them to you.

After looking at the pics and everything, I'm really sorry I missed this year's event. I guess I don't check the forum often enough.
