Cranky and All,

You missed a great day at Pocono today (Sunday.) I was supposed to be there yesterday, but had to change plans a few weeks ago... boy am I glad!

Since this was the first time on the track I was running in the novice group, but we got around the track pretty good. I was driving my 2001 Mustang Cobra. There was a Z06, a few 911 Carerras, Supra, other late model Mustangs, and a few Bimmers in my run group. We got four runs in, and I put on over 120 miles on the track. By the end of the day I was turning 1:52 laps, which seemed to be as good as anyone in the group. I was maintaining a gap on the Z06, he would pull away down the back stretch but I seemed to do better than him on the infield.

All in all it was a really fun day. Lot's of nice cars, Panteras, Vipers, C5 and C4 Vettes, Porsches, and that 2/3 scale 962 (it was fast), an ERA GT40, but no Cobra's (other than my Mustang type.)

I met a guy form England driving a late model Mustang GT, prepped for the track. Back in 1992 he attended Nidel Mansil's (?) driving school at Brands Hatch in England. I learned a lot from him on the correct line.

Not much drama on the track, everyone stayed out of the wall.

Just washed the brake dust off the wheels and changed oil.

Good day.

Greg
