Wasn't me.

I started the day off at the back of the pack, and never could quite leave at the same time as you guys from the rest stops to run with you. I had some fun with a 914-8? and a GT3, though. But there were a couple guys with some questionable driving out there (the decision-making, not necessarily their skills). One of them was in a modded 930.

I was actually the leader for a while today!!! I realized the mistake on the directions for the 118. Magnus, Chuck and that Volvo finally caught up to me as we were leaving the residential area at beginning. I finally had to let Magnus and Chuck pass. The Volvo stayed behind me until Palmdale.

Don't exactly recall the driver. Suffice it to say, there are places to go fast, and places not to go so fast. But then again, as a guy who's usually in the bottom 20% of the autoX times, maybe I'm the one with the throttle problem.

Great weather for driving, not so much for skiing... It's a warm Winter.

Time for me to hit the pillow. Off To San Diego for the day.

Have a good day!!

I was able to log a couple of hundred miles on my 93C2 yesterday. It sure was nice to be out there, Rick.

Happy New Year, guys!
