Title: Loring Thanks
Post by: sabat on August 03, 2010, 12:41:07 PM
What a great weekend, thanks to Mark Sotomajor & Bob Wanner, and all the LTA folks who put time and energy into this event  :cheers: Big thanks to Joe & Donna Timney.  WTG Joe on the 2-club ride.

Huge thanks to Scott Guthrie Racing for giving me the opportunity to ride one of the baddest bikes on the planet - Todd Dross, Debbie Dross & Josh Owen make it all work smoothly, helping everyone while riding themselves, and of course Scott made it all happen. Ellen & Lauren, Amanda & Jake, the list goes on, thanks to all.

Jim & Jamie Gilnack put on a perfect seafood bonanza to top it off on Monday in Popham, thanks again, see you next year.

We didn't quite catch up to Wild Bill Warner, even after he gave us a chance with a hurt engine, but we had fun trying. Congrats to Bill for an amazing performance, I know you will go faster.

Here's a few grainy pics from my phone.

Joe ran several high 190s before digging deep for a 200.xx and the white hat, on Deb's 1302 nitrous Busa.

With minutes before the track closed, we hot lapped the faired H2, but couldn't quite scrape 270.

Thanks to everyone posting reports and pictures for those of us who didn't make it. I really like the table picture Dean. A true rogues gallery of many of the truely best people in LSR; but why is Al at the back corner of the table? Was it a buffet or something?

The pic is really crappy, I think you're looking at Josh Owen, as Al didn't make it to Loring.

(I won't tell Josh)  :wink:

Dean,
It was nice to see an actual run since all I looked at ALL weekend was your chinstrap and gloves. :-D  Great run. 

It was a pleasure to work with a consumate professional like yourself.  Hope to see you next year.
