well im back from my "weekend in Philly with the wife" trip. saw 3 evos - saw a black X on saturday morning, somewhere on the border between philly and NJ... then a GG IX with 4-5 people in it on saturday afternoon, near the B Franklin bridge. and finally, a silver VIII, or IX near the pier, on sunday... couldnt tell because of the insane body kit all around

overall, Philly was great (my, and my wife's first time there)....

stayed at RittenHouse (caught a 50% off deal, so only paid $250/night )...
ate at Estia, and Devon, and Le Croix...

Did the duck tour, 2 horu walking tour and then on our own.... South street is a little funny - everyone and their grandma is ridin on 23's, and blasting music. is that a 'sunday special' in philly, or an every-day special ??

overall, amazing weekend, except all those phillies jerseys... almost picked a few fights

Awesome pics Chau, I don't even want to post mine after yours, but they are uploading nevertheless.. I have been underexposing my pics lately, I should kick myself for that.. I can't see the pics on the screen all that well in the sunlight to see how they came out..Alot of them could use some editing, but I will edit some after I pick the ones I like..Great job on the pics, I think it's time I get a real camera now
I can upload at 3500k/sec so I just uploaded a ton

I also wanted to add that I thought it was pretty messed up on behalf of the philly SCCA to not call an ambulance as soon at that focus rolled.. Seemed like the cover up of the century while it was happening.. A persons safety should come before anything else no matter what..

Nice pics pete. Wish i would have taken more pics of the cars in the lot. I think there should have been an ambulance on site.

Had a great time yesterday eventhough I'm so tired today I can barely stand. Nice pics Chau...

Petey I don't know how I missed you but I did. Ben, Carson, Nick, Jeff, Mat, Chu and Chau it was cool hangin with you guys. I plan on getting signed up for the April event as well. Maybe it will go a little smoother. Hopefully they'll have the times up soon so we can all see how we did. (Chu, you might want to not look at that one... hehe...)

Even if they would have called one it would be a different story.. I was genuinely pissed off about it, but after getting repremanded for taking pictures of said rollover and told not to post the pics online I figured I would give them the benifit of the doubt.. Now I wish I would have called myself.. They may have a lawsuit over this for lack of medical treatment or an evaluation if the person starts to feel messed up the next day and needs treatment.

I had a blast yesterday! My all-seasons were so bad once I started picking up some more speed in the second and third. I think my final run was a 66 something, a huge improvement over the first...haha. So I will be doing every event at CPB in the summer series, and the driving school. Thats about 1 event per month. Who's in?

Now that I will be getting a 5 speed, I'm all about some HPDE and trackdays!! No more 4th gear to worry about!!
