I have returned from battle...

Victorious!

Nurburgring.....WOW! What an experience that track is. I was able to enjoy myself and get in 4 very fun laps of the 13 mile track! I do have to admit that I was very scared the first two...and only slightly scared the last two. I will probably never go back since I do feel that it is probably the most dangerous thing I have ever done!!! I have a small teaser clip I will link to for you, as I need some time to compile the lap footage and compress it down. My camera is not able to run a complete lap...so I have three clips that make up one lap, great fun!
So Gruppe B represented today and I was even able to spread the word.

teaser clip 1.8 MB

As the Inquistor of the Gruppe B....we must root out any heresy and expunge it from our midst..to keep the faith pure as JohnJC and others intended it to be. To keep those R Gruppe and SCWDP Barbarians from infiltrating and corrupting the Gruppe B faithfull. Therfore I am working up a list of questions that only the faithful and pure Gruppe B members would know the answers to , that will expose the corruption of the heretic's in our midst. And I can tell that there are many....

First Question...How many Porsches can you fit on the head of a pin?

Second Question: Why are the R Gruppers and SCWDPers in league with the Devil?

Third Question: Why doesn't the Gruppe B faithfull have Goats?

Fourth Question: Which member of the R Gruppe is just an evil old man?

To refresh a suspected heretics memory a special workout on the rack or a nice refreshing dip in the moat can be arranged. If any of the faithful have further questions that they would like to put to the corruptors of the faith please feel free to submit your questions in triplicate to the Inquisitor for his personal review....

thanks Sir Ed...it was a blast.
On the full video it shows that I did not know thw track...slow through turns I should have been full throttle through, and way to fast in turns that I should be going easy through...but what fun it was! The early runs were fun since nobody was on the track yet, then it got busy and laps were scary with all the traffic...felt like wheel to wheel racing! HA HA
Back to the autox for me.

Welcome back K9 and glad to hear word of your victorious adventure as a member of "The Ring" on the "Ring". Congratulations on being the first of the Gruppe B bretheren to make the daunting journey as a member. I am sure you wore your title well and with great pride! The alliance is indeed represented well in the domain of Europe.

And on behalf of Gruppe B, I want to offer our prayers and deepest sympathies to those families who lost their loved ones yesterday on the Ring.

Fellow loyalists. As the dissemination of information is vital to the advancement of our powerful cause, it is imperative that any and all Gruppe B Knights with ideas regarding the design of our Propaganda Network (website), make contact with the Minister of Information... Sir jstgermaine, and make your ideas known. And this must be done post haste as his labors are intensive. The ideals in which this thread has been founded have struck chord my friends and it is believed that such humor and language could be perhaps be carried onward in the site. Please contact the M.O.I. via the miracle of the PM or Email.

Shirts and stickers look good, Dan. Great Job!!

Looks like you had a blast, k9! Like skydiving, bungee-jumping and nude Twister, you can now tell all your friends that you've done it and it's out of your system!

What a weekend. All the Monty Python stuff. #075 runs on the ring! We get a HP Junkie defector! Shirt design finalized! All I did was watched a lame parade and ate an elephant ear...
