    Well I was planning on getting my front bumper redone anyhow now it should be much easier with half the paint removed already. :lol: It's just paint and the FUN was worth it.

    As for that one really sideways moment, when both front wheels were over the yellow line "Sideways" and I could see Whales (Bill) and Nathan out my drivers window and Marks son Blake out my passenger window. Lets just it was very interesting and if it was on video from inside my car you would not believe I got it back straight without coming to a full stop oh along with the expletives.

    We had a great race Ooops run and it was still LEO-less.

    I hasten to add that this loosely led jaunt through the countryside for damn good donuts is not a race. They have lots. They know we are coming.

    I've said it before and I have an opportunity here to say it again. It was the most fun I have had on public roads in 35 years of driving-spirited but safe. Dave O., Mark and crew, thanks so much for a fantastic memory....Can't wait to get there again in a few months.

    And those donuts are AWESOME :Thumbsup:

    Nice gesture Nick. My experience is, print the maps out, hand them out, even print out a route book, but folks won't bother to read them, just tailgate the car in front of them. There are a few exceptions to that rule & that makes the work worth while.

    Everybody in the front group got BLASTED with sand and gravel up on Foothills PKWY, but we where moving along at the posted speed limit, and where able to blow the crud off the road for the rest of the group... Dave.0 and myself have a good bit of touch up work to do! :)

    HA! yea, I learned my lesson last year....kept about a 10 car gap between me and the car in front of me in the early group and did not get the cinder-blast treatment this year.

    And by "posted speed limit", I assume you mean the revised limit we spray-painted on all the signs?!

    I think the culprit is those R compounds of Mark's that are like flypaper when they heat up :Thumbsup:
