It was by far the best weather I'd experienced for this event. Nice light shower Friday night into early Saturday kept some busy polishing again.
Missed a few regulars and enjoyed spending time with those that did show up.

Pete S. is quite the generous GT owner. invited everyone who wanted to sit in his GT to do so and get their picture taken. it was a pleasure meeting up with him at Carlisle. Great bunch that met up this year. we need to really promote it for next year. Fun times!

Pete,

It was nice to meet you. I did not know you were not going to be there Sunday as I wanted to say goodbye to you. Please email me as I have one lingering question.

Thanks,
Rich

I assume he was running take-off Goodyears.

Yes, Mike was on Goodyears and in second gear. However I think like me he considers the Goodyears a much better overall tire choice. I put on a nice set of the Bridgestones and found them uncomfortably grabby, trying to maneuver the car based on every crack or shift in the road surface; and found them quite poor in the rain compared to the Goodyears. True that they are a smoother quieter ride. My CL brake pads make a ton of noise too but will not settle for less.
