On a side note, does anyone know how to sign up for a single day of this event? The Motorsports Reg site only lists both days as an option and I sent the register ( Pete ) an email but I have not heard back. If anyone has done it for this event could you drop me an email and let me know what process I should follow.

Call the registrar.

Going to VIR this weekend.  Can't do 2 back to back events but I will come and visit you guys at Thunderbolt.  Looks like a great way to start the season.  Have fun.  Be safe.

How did it go?

Not because of Shattenbaum Region, but the weather played a big role in the success of this event.  5 sessions for each run group, I heard from a large Riesentoter contingency, was a plus.  The event ran smoothly and the track was very fast.  I was torn between having dinner with my NNJR friends and the RTR group.  I wound up at the Kawa Japanese and Thai restaurant where 6 of us RTR's enjoyed a good BYOB bottle of wine, sushi and a little bit ofspicy Thai food.  The company was great and we all had a good time.  What's a car club if there isn't a great social atmosphere?  Jim Wirt did not agree too well with the sushi, and Lainey didn't show up when she promised that she would.......she found greener pastures.  I'd like to thank all guys and gals from RTR that made this weekend so much fun driving an socializing.  Jim, thanks for the ride, your car is awsome!

Nick,

It was a fun dinner - thanks for the wine.  I enjoyed watching Jim approach the Sushi ( he's the guy that early in this thread asked "whats a scone") Better yet Jim took on the track with a very nice early 911 and after a first run that left him looking a little pale was moving very nicely by the end of the day. Great weekend - see you guys at the Jeff/ Shenendoah event.

Greener pastures is an interesting phrase to use, Nick! I know Steve and I missed a good time! We went to the NJMP clubhouse to visit with buddies and a few of his old friends. Just got too late and the martinis were just too good!!

It was an amazing weekend. Learned a ton from Darren, had fun and a whole lot of laughs. Can't wait for next time!!

A word of advice - Just be careful lining up behind Dave Felker (red Carrera #45) on the grid at NJMP - your row will never be picked first to go on track first! Poor Dave!!!

Well?........I didn't want to be explicit, because that would have been TMI.......... I leave that up to you.
