One question regarding the photo caption (Green Mini passing '115 MPH' sign): Just what in the blue eyed hell is a "Sunday Voice A Car"?

OK, I guess I wasn't quite awake when I posted that. However, punctuation WOULD have helped.

It did look funny but I assumed you were just sharing you strange sense of humor with the rest of us.

Make sure Dan doesn't see that article. He doesn't need any reminders of this weekend.

I understand it was nothing if not thorough. In fact when I got on station (5, left hand portion of the Esses) I was cautioned by Daryl Danko to watch where I took a bathroom break, as the camera coverage on the hill was extreme. Sure enough, up on top of the phone pole was the camera.

When nature called, I was well out of the way.

I think.

To anyone who ordered the DVD let us know when you got it. I haven't ordered mine yet. Just like to know how long it takes.

75 bucks?!? OUCH!
Did any one TiVo this?
I don't want to spend $25 to find out I wasn't exciting enough and ended up on the cutting room floor.

I'll probably end up paying the 75 since I screwed up all of my in-car footage :oops: :cry: :x

Wow, so close to being on TV...

I'm in the background of Joe Wilkie's shot, talking to Rick Kase, then screwing with my helmet (what was I doing??), and then, you can see the back corner of the Camaro with Mike Robinson stepping away in the 2nd last shot... At least it looked like Rich Rock and Matt Rowe were doing something important.

Had fun at this event, but my tires did not. When I got home I found a screw in my truck tire, and yesterday went to get the race car off the the trailer and there was a nail in my race tire. Did anyone else have any problems with this.

Also I'm thinking its probably not safe to plug the tire, but was wondering if anyone else had insight on this?

I wouldn't plug or patch the tire on your Subie. Maybe the truck. To plug or patch you can't have the hole too close or on the sidewall. Any tire shop would be able to tell you what is safe and what is not. But as far as the tire on your race car, I'll repeat the best advice ever given to me - "You only got one ass."
