Nice meeting you. You should have asked me about cameras. I had three with me. I did just sell my gopro 3 now I am left with my gopro 4 and contour roam

You guys had a really bad session, I couldn't believe the luck you guys were having. Our session got mellowed out after the crowd thinned out after lunch. Too many cars on track with different experience level is a disaster.

A pleasure meeting you too. I hope your day went better than my own. You have a nice track set up.

I never thought to ask another for a camera. I wish I had too.

I picked up my 82 year old mom so we could spend Christmas with my sister and her children. While getting on the freeway I accelerated to get up to 65 MPH. I could see this Mercedes coming up on the left side, and he did not want me to pass him as I did. My mom laughed and said he sure was looking over to see who was driving. Then he made a maneuver where he started on my right side, went behind me and then passed with his AMG car on the left. The right lane was wide open so his encirclement made no sense. He takes off and I explain what AMG means. Within 30 seconds his car was pulled off to the side of the freeway broken down.

We both had a good laugh.

AMG is Mercedes Benz in-house performance arm. Think like SRT, or M-cars.

I have a lot of experience, so I have a list of what to bring and what not to bring (wife

It has been like summer here the last few days. It was 70 degrees on my cars' thermometer yesterday.

Both drives to and from work were wonderful. for whatever reason I was "ON". I made every apex and got on the gas fast but without wheel spin or VDC. It was just one of those drives that put's a smile on your face without even being aware that it is there.

I hope everyone is having a good Z time too.

On Valentines day the weather was beyond perfect. 70 degrees in February. What could go wrong? Everybody under the sun seemed to have gone for a drive that day. My 6 minute fast drive or 10 minute commute to work, took 60 minutes due to traffic. Imagine being stuck on a hill for most of the time, clutch in, hand brake engaged, clutch and hand brake release, go ten feet and stop. Although annoying just creeping along, this is such an easy clutch to engage without wearing myself out.

But the day is not over yet, as it is Valentines, my honey and I had reservations just ten minutes away. so all those folks that had enjoyed the day were now heading home. It took 40 minutes to get to the restaurant. After a wonderful evening, a mere 7 minutes home. My lane was empty but the headlights opposite, were lined up nearly 4 miles waiting for a stoplight. It had gotten worse.

I was trapped the rest of the weekend when it actually got worse on Presidents Day with a "Free" admission day into the national monument.

Living in paradise has it's limitations.

You just reminded me of when I got stuck in some awful traffic on my way home on my motorcycle. There's a very long, rather steep bridge near my house that wasn't stop and go (it would have been better if it was). Slipping a clutch on a motorcycle for 30-40 minutes straight can be rather exhausting, FWIW...
