    As I recall, you were out there for 6-8 laps (give or take a couple). About 15-20 minutes.

    You and your team did an absolutely remarkable volunteering job planning, communication, and execution. You surely made it a memorable lifetime experience for anyone that has a pulse. Thank YOU, thank YOU!

    Thank You Mike,

    It was definitely a Team effort and we wanted to make sure that everyone had a great time visiting the Mid-Atlantic Region! I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to meet you face to face, but I did see your 458. :) It looked fantastic!

    I look forward to meeting you in the future.

    I finally got around to editing my first video from the track event. This one is from Session Two on Sunday, it is the first session where they combined Blue and White run groups.

    Multiple angles including some trackside shots thanks to my lovely wife who made it her mission to get video from every corner she could get to. Hope you enjoy, I will be trying to put together some shorter ones when I get some time.

    Scott,

    Fantastic! Very well done. Smooth, great situational awareness, easy to see why you got the yellow solo band. A couple of comments:

    1. Bet you're going to fix that sun visor soon! :)
    2. Did you notice that your oil cap was loose the whole time? (pretty sure it's the oil cap...) ;)

    Good job - thanks for sharing!

    Thank you! I was really happy to get solo'd but I had two great instructors. Definitely helped me to learn the track and become both relaxed and confident in my car.

    To answer your questions:

    1. Yes I will be looking to fix that soon. I thought it was mildly annoying on the street. It is way more distracting on the track so it will be getting fixed soon.

    2. I didn't realize the oil cap was doing that until I first started looking at my GOPro footage, right after I got home from the event. Scared the crap out of me. First I went to make sure it was still there (it was). Second to see if it was just loose (it was). Shame on me for not checking stuff like that. I didn't see any evidence that any oil spilled out the top so I think I got very lucky.

    Josh at ECS says that the later cars have a "grenade pin" like setup to prevent that and we will add it to my car the next time I have it in there.

    Scott, great video!

    I especially like the part from 13:50 to 15:00 in the video where I get by you in the black 458 (I had an instructor on board helping me get ready for the pass on the straight-away after we came out of Turns 8 and 9).

    You probably noticed that you passed me back later in the video (see the part from 18:25 to 19:45 in the video).

    Holy crap...at 0:27 it certainly looks like your oil fill cap started spinning!!

    EDIT: I see this has already been discussed.

    Ron,

    I definitely was watching you catch up, so I was prepared to give you the point by coming out of 8. I figured you had to have backed off for me to catch back up to you.
    Beautiful 458 btw... It is fun sharing the track with such awesome cars.

    I'm not completely retiring the 360 from track duty, but I did pick up a 2013 Boss 302 Laguna Seca to be my main track car. Haven't had time to sign up for any events yet though.

    I have lots more video to post, I have just been too busy to edit anything. Hopefully the next few days will calm down some.

    Scott

    The "Official" 2014 Annual Meet photos have finally been posted! WARNING...there are A LOT of photos!

    Photos have been posted to: FCA-MAR Photo Library

    These photos are from our Official Event Photographer Tim Kemmis. I will be uploading additional galleries from other photographers who have sent me their photos.

    Enjoy!

    Awesome pics! Ooh the red 360 #16 is me! I'm famous! ;)

    It really is great being able to see all of the cars from the trackside vantage point.

    I need to upload some of the pics my wife took as well... She was asked more than once if the was a professional photographer. She had two Canon 7D cameras and a Sony HD video camera, that is how I was fortunate to get all of my external shots for the video I posted.

    I'm really shocked my 612 with aftermarket rims and glue on shields wasn't featured more prominently :D

    I can't take the credit for taking the photos. Those (from the Annual Meet) are from the event's official photographer: Tim Kemmis.

    I will be uploading some "unofficial photos" from other photographers hopefully by the end of the weekend.

    By the way...I haven't forgotten the photo I owe you Barry! :) I'll send it as soon as I can...I promise.

    Nice!

    You can see the side-loading on both of our cars as we steer them toward the pylon on the inside of the corner.

    Well, I just took the shields off my 612. I love the way it looks now. I just wish I had done it two months ago. Putting stock wheels on it now too. Oh well.

    That red 599 GTO is totally badass. I love Omar's yellow one, but this one looks so much more visually aggressive.
