On Behalf of the Superformance guys and Gal, I wish to extend a sincere thanks for hosting another wonderful event and allowing us the privelage to participate. We all enjoyed ourselves!...had more track time than most of us could stand...and really appreciate the relaxed atmosphere supported by solid orgainzation and authority to keep everyone in line and things running smoothly.

From my experience, it has been a real pleasure to run with you SVT guys. Amazing cars, great drivers...and terrific folks... I'm looking forward to next year.

Hat's off to Tony and Brian..and everyone else that put this event together. Please invite us back again next year!!

Sincerely,
Rob Frink

Tony and Brian,

I wanted to thank you guys and everyone else on the track at Gingerman on letting me do a little testing for my Triumph Spitfire in preparation for the SCCA Runoffs.

Hopefully I didn't make to much of an

of myself, and stayed out of most everyones way....again sorry to the guy and wife in their white stang.

Chris

Rob,

Y'all (or should I say "everyone?"

) are always welcome to come to any of our events as we always have a great time and many of us have formed solid friendships with many of the Superformance Cobra owners. I always look forward to seeing Jay and Barb out there with their cars. It's like they are part of the family now!

Thanks for the kudos..

Spitracer,

I tried so hard to pass you and did but then you got me back so I guess we are even.

It really looked like you were driving a go-kart in those turns because you were just smokin my snake!

I hope you got plenty of track time and will come back next year.

TheSandman · 09-17-2007, 09:16 PM

Just wanted to say thank "ya'll" for the weekend of open track. The 14hrs of driving was well worth it. I really enjoyed myself runing with all

. I will be comming next yr for sure.

Thanks again for the laid back atmosphere and the "northern hospitility".

Hope to see all in Texas!!

Lumpydogs · 09-17-2007, 10:04 PM

I wanted to say Thank You to everyone for coming to Gingman. I had a great time visting old friends and making new friends. I appreciate everyone who comes to our this event especially those who make the long drives here and everyone who joins in and helps to make this event a success. Our car show needs some work and we are getting there. I want to Thank eveyone for there ideas and help. Tony possibly next year

and Thank You for such a great club and oppertunities that are offered.

Lumpydogs · 09-18-2007, 12:09 PM

So I crunched the numbers and discovered that I ran 1:42 - 1:43 consistently all weekend (without traffic). That puts me about 7 seconds off pace from being competitive with the instructors. By my calculations a slight change in my trackout on turn five will make up the 7 seconds. New line goes from early apex at turn 5 to late apex at turn 8 (across the grass) that should do it.

Spitracer · 09-18-2007, 05:00 PM

Tried that Sunday, little rough

still cleaning grass and small woodland animals out of the frame.

Enjoyed seeing your car run. Amazing grip. As for our incident, that was resolved with no bent sheet metal. Thanks for participating in our event and good luck at the SCCA Runoffs.

drudis · 09-20-2007, 10:54 AM

Had a GREAT time. Look forward to it every year!

Only spun once...

... but have to say I never really went 4-off. I spun on the PAVEMENT in #6, and then DROVE on the grass to turn around. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Bad news was that once I figured out why the engine misfiring, I believe the custom chip wasnt talking to the engine... and it probably went lean, and (hopefully) only blew a head gasket. I dumped 50% of radiator (only water and W/W, no antifreeze) in turn#9, and limped in with 260'F water temps. Will disassemble motor soon.

p.s. Will post video clips on this thread:
