Near the end of the afternoon, the traffic was quite sparse, and Ron and Mark were turning some pretty hot laps - but you're right, it was an untimed event. I was just curious.

Doug (gtnj) has some video he is going to send me .It would be easy to put a watch to .
I must say a fast time would be when I drove Torrie's twin turbo !! That car was OH MY GOD FAST !!!!The throttle response was unbelievable ! Torrie has some video and you can see the car LEAP from one turn to another !Thank you Torrie!
For rally 4, I volunteer to drive any TT'S ! I hope CMoody's is ready !!

Aloha GT's wife- slowest.
Actually, I think Shelley was pretty fast out there - and even added an extra "loop" for the spectator's enjoyment!

Ron Baby- you've been spoiled rotten by The Torid Torrie and his TT monster.

I remember quite well the extreme GT perm-a-grin you both had after you tore up the track in his GT. Wish I had remembered to shoot a photo of those SMILES.

something like this and that morphed into something like this

If anyone has photo's of them from Rally III please post.

This is too funny and quite true. I didn't mean to ruin you Ron, well wait a minute yeah I did that on purpose. I was ruined wayyy back in April 2006 and all of the events that followed have kept me here smiling every single day.

Ron's driving of my car and the Nardo car in turn altered my perspective again that day at LVMS. I now have a very true and profound respect for the great people that assembled this vehicle for us all to enjoy and also at Ron's skill as a driver.
