    Hey Geronimo. Good to hear from you. Things are going great. Your company name is on the car! Car will be at MSR this weekend as part of the BMW DE. I'm instructing, but will also drive the car a little.

    Monday it goes into Norwoods for a quick check before Monterey. Jonathan picks the car up Tuesday and I'll see it next at Laguna Seca for 3 days on the track.

    I have a membership to MSR now, so I want to get all the local sponsors together a few times this Fall for some fun.

    The photographer for the "framed pics" I've promised will be there this weekend, so I hope to have that to you and other sponsors in September.

    Not sure if I will be able to give you a ride, but we might try. Might bring a motorcycle helmet if you have one.

    Randy Aust and Maranelloman will be there too.

    Monday for the school. Wednesday and Thursday for regular track day.

    I saw something somewhere where you can only take instructors for rides. Is this true!?!

    I used to teach surveying does that count? ;) It would be cool to get a ride in the F-chat machina! Even more so piloted by the man himself.

    Jano and family came out. David Scott, Raj, and Randy Aust were some of the Ferrari crowd also instructing.

    I had a good time, first I've formally instructed. I enjoyed giving advice and watching the students improve. Also neat to watch their excitement playing on the track, in my old age driving myself around isn't quite the same thrill. Also had a chance to drive my students 2001 M5 with several mods and a new 330.

    Had several others come up to view the car and mention they were users or lurkers on FC.

    Ran 3 good sessions in the Challenge yesterday. First solo, second with one student, and third with the other student. Today just ran one session with Randy Aust so he could give me advice. That was a great experience and he's the best at fine tuning. I'm pretty good at this track as I just broke the SRX7 lap record by 8 tenths, but Randy was still able to fine tune several things.

    The photographer also got shots of the car and sponsor graphics, so will be working on those the next several weeks.

    Challenge car is running perfect, but Norwoods will tune tomorrow and it leaves for Cali on Tuesday!
