Looks cool! How fast did you get up to on the track? How many laps?

Wow, that's great. I'd love to run on a track like that! And it was for charity too? Good job!

I has a total blast. It was amazing how easy your car turns on those high banks. There was quite alot of variety in the cars that showed up. I was a little worried when we got out behind the group of Ford diesel trucks, but they started out far enough ahead we could run down the backstratch flat-out.

We need to have more events out there, such as that stuff with the Z06's or as Jim suggested running the roval.

Hey, I see my goat in a few of your shots . I was going to stop by and chat, but after I ran my laps with some dooshwaffle in front of me going 60-80 MPH (pretty sad the bastard doesn't know how to drive his GTO) I left a little disgusted. I"m not sure why you'd spend $30 to go 80 MPH, I can do that on the highways if I wanted to. Its real fun out there, despite having a sloth in front of you. Hope you guys had a blast and didn't have some ***** in front of you.

The first run 4 me was great. we kinda held back to get some distance from the cars ahead. I hit 100 in the back turn and came out about 105. End of the 2nd run we were out front and we almost caught up with the end of our line so we were only goin about 50 for the last lap. Still worth it 4 me

Seriously, thats the most fun I've had in my balt period. Running TMS beat out all the kills I've had and everything. We should have made this a meet for sure. It would have been nice to see 25 balts rolling around TMS. After doing this we need to try to get a track day set up.
