Default Re: One year ago today.........................

Wow.... What a day. This is the first time I've had the car out, and were takiing it to the track and area we were at when everything was stolen. Talk about Dejavu! I put into my GPS where we were to go. Left West Lorne just like a year ago, leading the convoy of racers from both sides of the boarder. Just like a year ago... The day was sunny and warm, you know, the perfect summer day.... just like a year ago, and no, I'm not making this up. The GPS takes us right by the Indian reserve, and through the town where we met,and the money exchanged hands. I kept expecting to hear the Twilight Zone music! JJ calls me from the car behind and ask's.... "look familiar???"
Anywayz...... Got to the track wihout any problems.
Soon as I got there I unloaded the car, grabbed my helment and told the wife I was going to get this monkey of my back. My wife asks if I'm going to just drive it through, or full out. I told here, "Balls to the wall"
Anyways<span style="font-weight: bold">I'M BACK</span> 11.70 right off the trailer! Felt good and was good. We had a great day and even Owen made a new personal best for the COPO Nova.... 12.84 @108mph. This track just plain hooked!
Thanks to all for your encouragement. I'ts been a long year, but it is so good to be back in the saddle again!
Thanks you all!!
Peter
