Had an awesome time at the GNRS. It was great to get to meet and talk with people. What was really interesting is that there was plenty of time to chat since nobody was rushing to wrench on their stuff - unlike when we are at the salt.

Here's a couple of notable pics that I took.

We were "pit'd" next to Marlo and the Target 550 crew. Somehow this guy slipped security and performed some espionage against us!


I didn't get a picture of Ed Shadle when he sat in the car, but shortly thereafter, Jessi came by. She said it wasn't fair that Ed got to sit in it and she didn't so we rectified that condition for her.


Lizzy Leggett stopped by too.

I almost never wake up cranky, I usually just let her sleep in.

At least he's got his clothes on.

He told me if his shoes hadn't been double knotted, he would have taken his clothes off when I closed the canopy. He was going to jump out like the girl from a birthday cake!

Rob,

It was nice to finally be able to meet you at the GNRS. Your car looks great and fast just sitting there. I will look you up at Bonneville.

We left Southern California at noon on Monday and it was close to 80 degrees. Less than 36 hours later we drove through Ohio where it was -20 degrees. A full 100 degree swing. Ouch!

Was down at the GNRS and the car looked great. Didn't get a chance to meet you because every time I went by you had a huge crowd around! When I first walked up I was a little speachless as I was looking at someone STANDING on the back of the car! I get pissed when people want to just touch paint stuff I've done, so that put me a bit over the edge! Other than that, the car is pretty freakin' cool!

Seriously??  Standing on the back of the car?!?!?!  :-o  I think I would have come unglued even if it wasn't my car.  That shows absolutely no respect for other peoples property.  :x

Rear wing will get repainted after intersection fairing are done.Demonstrating strength of composite work more important than looks at show. Texture of paint seemed to hide all shoe marks 100% so far. Did not want to chance a model in spike heeled shoes though. That might be bad. I wish you made the effort to introduce yourself though. Unless I was talking to a potential sponsor, Landracing members are always more important.
