Nice stuff!

I've never been to any of those places. Too far to pull (unless I was retired and didn't have to get back to work on Monday).

I've done 10 different circuits here eastern US (including Bridgehampton). My next goal is VIR and then Mid-Ohio.

My old pal, Gary Kropf (yellow Bugeye) was always telling me about the fun he had racing at Gingerman.

~Here's me and Gary~ racing at Pitt-Race this year (starting around 6:00 on the video).

Welcome in Aaron -

Nice season, here's a track you might remember. Portland Int'l Raceway.
No radial tires here, bias ply Vintage TD's....

Hope you enjoyed your time at Gateway Motorsports Park, even through the crashes, as I work the Hot Pits. Hope to see you there this year.

thankfully I came out unharmed. It was disappointing as during the Saturday race I did have a big lazy half spin over the inner kerbing through turn 2 out of the lead of H-prod race.

Aaron, am very familiar with turn 2, as I spun my 03 Cooper S in a PDX, in front of 2 Vipers. Gathered it up before hitting ditch, stayed away from tire wall. I came into 2 too fast and realized too late that I was not going to make it, luckily it was soft enough in the grass to stop the car.

Aaron,

Welcome! - What kind of car is that?

You might add it to your posts.
