Hi Guys,

It was great to meet you all. I was the crazy instructor with the black T-bird... I'm compiling my video right now, and my friend took about 60 pics of everyone running. I will get them soon as well. I'll post back with the links

Oh and now that I have a baseline of how the T-bird runs on that tight course, it's time to make some mods

Bob

I'd also like to thank Loren, Fritz and all the SunRiders involved with the Primus Track day! What a great time!!
A big thanks to all the intructors who drove and rode ALL day, you guys are heros! What a great group of drivers also! (Those SC Minis, Wow!) I learned a bunch that day. (I need real tires!) Also, I was impressed on how well the track was kept, clean track and grass mowed. Well done.
If you missed it, try to make the next one, it was a blast!

Thanks again, hope to see you next time!

Next Primus event is in June, check the website, it's on the calendar.

Speaking of the website, anyone who has pictures, please visit the Picture Gallery on the website and post some pix there. It's a pain in the butt right now, I know... it only allows one picture to be uploaded at a time. Revising the photo gallery is on the webmasters list of stuff to do. (and batch upload was one of my personal requests!)

You were able to take a break? Who'd you have to sleep with to make that happen?

The good news is that we now have a good base of drivers that we have verified as "experienced" on this track. So the next event won't have as many Beginners that will require instruction.

We'll be able to schedule our instructors some down time at least every other session while the experienced drivers run solo.

Woohoo!

Whoohoo indeed. Between the heat - and constantly having on my helmet - (I only just got the nomex smell out of my hair). That was hard work...

I'm surfe not as hard as putting the event together but amen for getting more instructors next time. There were lots of tires screaming and brakes frying - glad no one had any braking issues - smart keeping the sessions short.

I didn't even take any pictures - anybody have any of my car in motion?

Nice video, Bob... the stereo sound is awesome! Kinda wish I'd had time to sit back while we were running and enjoy some of that!

Jamal, the video quality is better in the second video you posted, but I think you drove better in the first one. Your lines are better and you're smoother and more in control. I'd rather use that one.

Bob, can we post your vid on the website, too?
