It was good and bad.

Thank you very much Steve for the hospitality!!! !

I'm doing the part of the U.S. Leg tom. I'll have a write up later.

 

Good commentary!

You lucky dog you didn't go there early, as we were getting the run around when we first arrived as they were not ready on time. I was not upset as I sort of expected something like this would happen in an event that massive in size and crowd.

I was not too happy that they made us park so close to the fence, as I find out I have 200 little finger prints on my rear deck lid this morning. I guess all spectators want the opportunity to say, "I touched a Ferrari".

Good to see you again bud! Glad to see the "steady" cam in action again!

Hey guys this is Chris with the GT-R. It was cool to meet all you guys yesterday. Let's get together again.

 

Hey Guys.... Just woke up LOL! It was great meeting all the new faces and Steve thank you very much for your hospitality. I had a great time despite a few setbacks. With Rallies..it's expected. What a night! Great hanging out with all of you. Can't wait till the next time ...Still digesting that Marlyn Manson was there...and how down to earth and on the shy side he was!

Chris,

It was nice meeting you yesterday, did you hit the traffic cop with your GT-R on the way out last night? I was behind you.

 

Kinda, I got distracted because "The Hauff" was right there and people start swarming all over and my foot slipped off the brake :/

It barely hit me... it more like a love tap

 

Didn't your mom tell you when you were growing up, "SON, NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE HAUFF, IT"LL BLIND YOU."?

 

ROFLMAO

 

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!! WHEN WE WERE GOING OUT THERE WAS A SWARM OF PEOPLE TRYING TO GET TO THE HOFFINATOR. I AM SURPRISED WE DIDN'T HIT ANYONE! I GOT A PIC OF HIM ON THE WAY OUT...IT LOOKS LIKE HE IS IN DESPERATE NEED OF HELP!
