Happy Thanksgiving

Yeah, it's a day late.  It was a good one.  Hope everyone else found a lot to be thankful for.  

I had a "holy crap people actually read this" moment as I happened to glance at the site stats for the past month.  Really I have no idea (apart from a few people who are contractually obligated...i.e family) who might include this site in their post-lunch procrastination cycle, but thanks!

I also wanted to give a shout out to the folks at Tennspeed.  I appreciate the kind words in response to the Daytona mini-blog.  Going to that kind of thing is fun for a number of reasons, but being able to share the experience with people who appreciate it makes completely worthwhile.

Now, I'll quick slacking and have a video or two posted somewhere before the end of the weekend.

Daytona: Fini

 

Wow, 4 days of some of the most spectacular car porn I have seen in a while.  Everything went well for us; that is to say the Porsche is in one piece, and dad is still kicking.  The Ferrari Challenge race on the last day was pretty entertaining, and getting to meet Derek Bell was a very nice treat.

I'm typing this from somewhere in central GA on the way back to TN.

Keep an eye on the space to the right for videos and a mini-blog link.

Daytona Again.

Rolled into Daytona today around 3.  Got everything unloaded, took a few pictures, and have made it back to the hotel.

Pay attention to the headline to the right for a link to the crap-load of pictures I plan to take over the next three days. Enjoy!

 

Also, went for a jog around the infield earlier; just to stretch the legs after two days in a car.  Ran a loop around the go-kart track, did a couple of laps along the Lake Lloyd boardwalk, and got some funny looks from the "Daytona 500 Experience" tour groups being shuttled through on a tram. :)

Pocono 2010: The Aftermath 


Crap, I've done it again!  A hopelessly ambitious title up to which the short paragraph to follow has no chance of living.  Oh well. 

Pocono this year entertained for a number of reasons not least of which were the cars present.  My shutter snapped at some of the rarest Ferraris in existance, some of the fastest Alfa Romeos in the world, the newest offerings from Lamborghini and Aston Martin, not to meantion the dearth of slightly less rarified, but no less arresting rolling sculptures.  I operated a bit of a ramshackle blog (click here), in between showfield and track days over the weekend.  Honestly, half the fun of attenting such events come from sharing the experience.

Now, for those of you who have wondered what an FXX sounds like at full song, and not in a video game:

CMP, slightly warmer: 


Much to my relief, I arrived on friday to something other than a blizzard this time.  A semi-frustrating, but over-all fun weekend ensued.


Road Atlanta: Round 2 


As some of you may recall, I have previously visited the hallowed Road of Atlanta and was thusly smitten by its grandeur.  I made a second pilgrimage over the past weekend, only this time I was not flying solo.  That's right, after much ado (including, but not limited to: a 3-year car build, moving between cities, and a thrice delayed and then cancelled track day) TJ finally made it to an event.  MORE HERE!

Also, In keeping with tradition:  Video ahoy:

Video(s) of the Month
The history lesson continues.  I probably shouldn't have said that because it sounds educational, causing many of you to lose interest immediately.  Seriously, watch them, it'll be good for you.
