Only thing I'd really need is the wheels and a bit less power, at least for my level of skill.
Even with 325x19 Michelin Cup Sports, the rear wheels go up in smoke at anything over 3500 rpm.

I don't have time to get that hardcore into it. Between running 2 companies, a new home, a new(ish) wife and 1 daughter (for now ) there just isn't time.
Last weekend was the first time I've been home in almost 6 weeks.

Well, I for one am very glad you decided to grace us with your presence!

Was great meeting you! Maybe next time I'll try to drive the course too, that didn't look so hard...

Yeah man! I've been wanting to come out and play with Forum pals for years. I never did attend a CI and I don't typically post a hell of a lot.
We just came off a 2 week trip to St. Lucia and then Orlando for a trade show and only came home for 1 day before making the drive out to KY.

Was really great getting to meet you too Paul.

I just saw this on facebook:

Remember these banners? Post up if you still have one, there are about 20 of them floating out there in garages, attics, boxes or whatever... Do YOU have one?



Yes, I've seen one recently. Shrike6 and Y2KVert4me


I know some people had some fun with it later. Did it survive?

It survived....I retrieved it and it's still in the back of my car.

We can destroy it next year.

Oh good!


^^^ This comment was directed at the fact that Tom saved the banner. I doubt any of us really want to destroy one of them.

You keep it as a fun souvenir Tom's banner will provide laughs and fun photos in the years to come. I personally have no animosity toward anyone on CF, I just like hanging out here so much more than I ever did on CF.

To Ryan and Tom...I wouldn't destroy the banners. CF was a cool place, as we all became friends due to being there.

To destroy the banners would be, to me, like getting rid of good memories along with the bad. Kind of like destroying old family photos just because your ex is in them. Just my opinion.

Destroying or defacing one of the CF banners could only be done by an ignorant asshole. You, Ryan, are neither.

Default Need some of these pictures for the Museum Magazine!
This is Bob from the NCM and it's killing me going through these pictures! I wish I'd have hung out with you guys and had the chance to join the fun. I plan to be a part of next years for sure.

While I couldn't be there, I would like to get in good with you guys by doing a really great article in the latest issue of America's Sports Car magazine. I interviewed Mike N. but going through these pictures really helped me see how cool of a thing you have. If I could get some of these shots from you emailed to me at [email protected] I'd be grateful.

I've selected a bunch from beadist, but if you are the ones who posted the following pics, I'd might use them in the article. I've put you screen name followed by the shot names

I need them fast. Ideally, Monday if possible.

Thanks!

Hi Bob,

You have received all the photos requested except for Yamma's and she knows about them. I hope to have them tomorrow and will ship them off to you asap.

Bob sent me the finished pages today to proof. It looks wonderful!

It went to press today so those of you that get the magazine will see it pretty soon. If Bob gives me the OK to post the pdf here ahead of the publication date, I will. Sorry for the tease without being able to show you the real thing...but it's worth the wait.
