Had a great time up there on Saturday. I really, really regret not being able to get any track time, but still had a great time at the car show and enjoyed looking at everyone else's cars and watch them lay down some amazing laps. As far as I can tell, the event was a great success, and I'll definitely be back, hopefully ready to do the whole event next time.

I would like to thank Motorstate and all of the sponsors for putting on a great event. For being my first time on a road course and doing an autocross I'm hooked. I'm ready for the next one.:drive1:

I really had a great time at Gingerman!
My car wouldn't do very well on the track, but I sure enjoyed watching other people taking their turn!!!!!
Others have taken much better pictures than the ones I took of the road course action, so I won't duplicate those.

However, here are a couple of pictures of the car show.

Guys, Made it back about two hours ago. What a trip! Learned a ton. Autocross is hard stuff. Maybe after a couple of dozen I will figure out how it is done. Loved the road course. No doubt my Elky is way more capable than I am at low laps times. Nothing but fun. Thanks to all involved in putting this thing together. I will be back.
Elky ran flawlessly all the way home. No tickets. Total trip mileage was approx. 2300 miles. Really enjoyed meeting many new friends. And the cars were all off the chart.

I came down Saturday from our vacation in Harbor Springs and had a better time there than the "real" vacation! I was kicking myself for not having the beater wagon with me to knock around the track. I definitely plan to go up to a test and tune night at some point this summer. Thanks to all for a great event!

Wow, Mike great to hear you drove the Elky, you should be in the running for long distance award.
I saw a pic in Hot Rod? of you at Maxton. You're doing what it was built for.
I really hate that I missed this event. Looks like the best of the best was in attendence. Hope I can make RTTH.
Thanks to all for posting pictures for us stay-at-homers.

As a matter of fact we did get the long distance trophy Steve. You missed a great time. Now I have three days to recover and prep the car for Maxton. This time I have the "required safety equipment" to run flat out.

Did any other mags decided to cover this event?

It would be a shame if all the non-Camaros got left out of the coverage because CP was the only mag there.

Steve, can you make an exception in this case?

Rule #1 of the Camaro Magazine.. we only cover Camaros.. lol

Although I did list non-Camaros in the results box if they placed. Remember that I have 30-images for the story and it was tough just getting all the Camaros into the story.

Blame PHR and the other magazines for not caring enough to cover events like this.

Next year I might try to cover the event for CP and Super Chevy. But my first obligation is to Camaro Performers.

Hey Guys,
Bill McGuire from Hot Rod was there also and told me that he thought he'd be able to get a page of covereage in the Roddin at Random section. No indication on what issue but we'll keep looking.

Special kudos to Steve and Nick for hanging all weekend and for what will surely be a fantastic spread of the event in CP. Maybe it's time to start another book called "Other Performers" so we can get all the non-Camaro guys covered...Ha! Ha!

Those are great and I had no idea that there are now internet pics of me driving on a track to remember it by.

I had one of the best times ever driving around that track even if it was in the Vibe. It was surprising to me how well that little car did.

Next time will be a bit better in the cormaro.
