Mid-Ohio This Weekend
« on: August 03, 2009, 06:11:51 pm »
Any other CA'ers going to be at Mid-Ohio for the ALMS-Indycar weekend?  Should be a good show with the debut of both the new GT2 Vettes and the Rocketsports Jaguar.  The Mrs & I will be there all weekend.

Much as I envy you greatly (because there isn't the slightest scoobies' wotsit that I can be there), have a damned fine weekend....

Thanks MGM, was hoping a few of our mob might be there to share a few beers with.  This is always a fun weekend, with a damn busy circuit from sun up to sun down, with the ALMS, Indycars, and all of their supporting series.  Looking forward enormously to seeing the new kit from Pratt & Miller and the new Jag.

Hi John,

now that's a HUGE picture!
Have a great weekend.
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you have an electrical problem.

Hi Nobby,
Yep, that photo did turn out to be bit larger than I thought.  When I load it from the original site its not that big.  Anyone out there know how to shrink it a bit?  It is a nice shot of the new Vette.

I won't be at MO or Road America.  I'm finding it hard to care these days.  :-\

That picture was taken by Vandretti, can't rememeber where. Only thing I do remember is that we had those stickers made in Canada to be sure that our Canadian chapter had them to put them up. ;D

This film should be played at high volume, so don't come complaining about it! And who the hell is Steve?

The photo was taken in Toronto.  Vangio and I are quite pleased that the picture has taken on a life of its own as we've seen it posted several times on a number of websites.

Knetter, not to worry, we'll talk it over next time we meet over a few pints. ;)
