Windy (what time are you leaving Saturday morning?)

We are leaving about 3:30 a.m. -- I just remembered that South Haven is an hour ahead of us....

CobraSusie · 09-17-2005, 08:57 AM

We are on the way.

NJ2000R · 09-18-2005, 09:47 PM

nothing much to say except "THANK YOU" to Brian, Tony, and everyone who helped out and made this event possible....

the weather was perfect, and there were zero incidents, other than a few agricultural excursions....in addition to the open track driving school, we also had a bar b que, car show, and fund raiser "charity rides to benefit victims of katrina" where several hundred dollars were raised

pics to come soon!!!!

**cobrabitn** · 09-18-2005, 10:15 PM

I want to thank everyone who made this event a success! A big "thank you" to Brian for doing all of the leg work. Thanks to Janice Bolton, Larry Meyer, Burke Dawson, Dave Stanfield, Liz Groth, Peter Calvert, and everyone else who assisted at the event.

Thanks to all of the members that offered "charity rides" and to all of the event instructors. Thanks to Kevin Rogers for the driving tips as you helped me to keep Dave, Burke, and Rick off my tail Sunday afternoon.

We had 17 cars at the car show, two beautiful days for open tracking, raised $500.00 for the Red Cross, raised $375.00 for the SCMC Pete Fritzsching Fund, and had a financially successful event! Awesome event, awesome weather, and great company! Results with photos to come out as soon as possible.

The Carolina contingent should be home tomorrow afternoon!

tgentry · 09-18-2005, 10:29 PM

Thanks to everyone who had a hand in it. This was the best one yet! Count us in next year.

For anyone wondering, we made it home without incident, although the broken clutch jammed and worked it's last just as we backed into the garage. No worries, I have all fall/winter to repair and upgrade.

**cobrabitn** · 09-18-2005, 10:46 PM

Glad you made it Tom. I didn't know you had car trouble?? Hope you get it back to normal soon!

johnbasf · 09-18-2005, 10:50 PM

Tony, you could thank me for keeping you updated on the Panthers

. You missed a serious butt-kicken.

CobraSusie · 09-18-2005, 11:48 PM

By next spring it will be back to normal and beyond

We'll also be trailer shopping this winter.

Sorry we didn't get a chance to say goodbye to everyone. With a clutch that wouldn't disengage we wanted to get moving as early as possible to beat the Chicago traffic. We only had a couple of bad sections.

Glad to hear that you made it home safely Tom. The only black 'stang that we saw going home was a show ready GT so we knew that wasn't you!

Thank you everyone for your hard work. Tim and I had a great time and it was awesome to see everyone again.

Driving is fun, but being with friends is even better!!

Lumpydogs · 09-19-2005, 05:35 PM

Great event, great people, great weather! What more could we ask.
Thanks to all for putting on the event. Nice meeting all of you. I can
finally put a face to some of the names.

Can't wait till next year.

Hazman · 09-19-2005, 06:11 PM

AHHH three days of TRACK!!!! As always we had a great time. Thanks to Brian and crew you guys make this the best track event each year. There are lots of fun tracks and events but only one crew of folks like you guys at Gingerman. You really make it wonderful. We made it home in about 9 hours and yes I remebered to switch tanks each time so no fuel starved diesel on the way!!

**Cobra-R** · 09-19-2005, 07:04 PM

Hi All,
I would like to thank you all for coming out and making this such a fun event. It almost felt like the old days with some members coming that we havn't seen in a long time.

I would also like to thank all the members that pitched in to do tech, run grid, registration, BBQ, and everthing else. I can't count the number of times people came up and asked to help, I am so proud of the people this club has.

Thanks to the long distance travelers that traveled to come to out event to help out and to participate.

Man, I can't wait for CMP in March!!

Brian Groth

I would like to also say Thank You to everyone. I had a great time as well as my Family. I learned alot and have alot more to learn. I would like to offer a special THANK YOU to Tim and Bonnie for the ride and for the rides you gave my kids they where still talking about it after we left for hours. I can understand why people here stay members, It is more than a Great club, it is really a giant family and I'm glad I had the chance to join and become apart of it. I would also like to welcome the new members that we picked up this weekend. I would like to say Thank You to everyone for putting on a great event.
