Well all, the wife and I went to Italy for our first anniversary for 10 days, returning on the 9th. But if you look at the pics you would think i went to the UK and had trouble with the wing on the way back.


close up on the UK badge (out with the USDM badges)


The wing was removed courtesy of Frankie and Dylans in Mentor, and they did a terrific job. Whoot.
Oh and here is my wife reading in front of the Coloseum in Rome.

OK, I could have done without the dead bird. Otherwise, great shots. The 55 Viper was ridiculous. He passed me about halfway to the keyhole and I swear by the time I made the back straight he was in madness!

According to my videos in the car, I was running 1:45, didn't time all of the laps thought. Robis suspension and toyos made a huge difference. My best last time was 1:55.

Greg, those pics I posted were from Friday. You didn't run Friday , I didn't take anymore on the weekend.

Jesse, great pics, quality shots! Your girlfriend took them?

Dave, agree Viper was sick as hell. And I just couldn't pass up on the bird picture

It's not the stickers, car is really quick. If Derek did 1:40.8 in his, I'm sure mine could put down those numbers as well. My cahones are not as big as my evo's

BTW, if anyone interested - me, Derek and Paul(?) going to Nelson Ledges on Fri.

Some tracks are Ok with motorcycle helmets, some not. The minimum rating is SNELL 1990 (SA1990 or M1990). Newer helmets with a SA rating are recommended. Summit has got all that. That's where I bought my helmet

Jesse,

Thanks for pics those are great! I see you almost caught 2 fireballs . Different angles rule Do you know of anybody else (except markus.smugmug.com) that could have been there to take pictures? I was blowing fireballs like crazy (running a bit richer now). I was hoping someone got more cool shots. Markus gets pretty boring fast, he uses same angles and no @ss shots. I check turn2 imaging, but it seems like they weren't taking any pics.

Thanks
