Sorry I couldn't hang around for the official pink hat ceremony,but I'm here to set things right. You guys are brutal; the b@ll busting was relentless.

I lost it on the road course, in the same spot everybody else was that day, on the painted stripe. It was a honor passing it on to the gent in the mean Ford GT.

Anybody else going to cowboy up?

LMAO!! Hey Steven, when you get to the next NASA event will have a matching pink tutu waiting.

I spun on the road course and will probably get the video uploaded at some point. It certainly doesn't look quite as exciting in the video as it was to experience it.

Alas, the cowboy hat was busy serving autocross duties at the time so I dodged the bullet.

I too somehow dodged the bullet...I lost it in the same spot late Saturday...nobody brought it to me so I didnt look for it.

It was fun meeting you Steven, and thanks for the advise on the air pressure. It worked good. I look forward to seeing you in the future.

I could have earned it, took out one of the big cones in the first chicane on my 3rd lap. During the same laps whoever was driving Albert's Camaro spun out, so I didn't get the hat. I will say it was funny to hit it and then look in the rearview and then see it fall to the ground a couple seconds later!!

Some people were so glad to get rid of it, they stood next to the off ramp lane of the road course to hand it to next recipient!!

That was hilarious, I hope someone has that on video.

The Pink Hat is an equal opportunity kinda hat. It doesn't matter if you're superstars like Doug Renner and Kyle Tucker. Kyle did a complete 360 spin on the road course, twice. He officially determined a 360 spin adds 7 seconds to his lap times. I should've earned the hat myself on the road course thanks to choosing an extremely awful time to check my gauges. Chris from JCG Restoration seems more than happy to remind me about it. LOL

Put the hat on boys...

Ahh, but that is not me! That is the CHP Nova. Thanks for the pics though, have any more of the #19 Nova?

It sure enough is... The only other one I have of the 19 Nova is just one of it waiting in the line for the speed stop challenge.

Dude, I gotta hand it to you, your spin was by far the best one---made me nervous anyways---until I spun twice on the road course---then twice on auto cross---LOL. Luckily I only had the hat twice since there were many other spiners as you know----what a freaking blast though.

I made the mistake of mentioning at the beginning of lunch that I had spun out but missed the hat since another driver right after me did the same. Someone tattled on me, so one of the pretty ladies that volunteered for the day showed up with the hat and placed it on my melon. It stayed there longer than anyone since I had to wear it through lunch and the first pass on the road course until Kyle did the double 360.

But what I really want to see are the pics of the bunny ears. They were used after lunch since the autocross and road course were too far away to make passing the hat practical. Come on guys and gals, fess up.....

Well my spin is pretty tame I think compared to some of you rock stars out there. However, here is a clip of my first outing on the road course where I describe my driving as a mess lol.

EDIT: ha ha awesome. Looks like youtube selected the a frame for the default picture of me mid spin.

Dave, Jon, Mike, it was great meeting you guys finally. I've never had such a good time at an event and look forward to hanging out with you guys again soon. The weekend just went by way too fast.

Pink tutu eh Gaetano? Just bring all the pink you have an we'll hand it out accordingly!

You were looking pretty good Chad. They really opened up that second chicane on the front straight.

Yeah they did. But I could see going in too hot with it that open. I was really on the binders coming out of that chicane into the sweeper.

Thanks God one did not have to wear the pink hat for hitting cones, I did an excellent job on a cone in the gate. I hit it so hard I was waiting for the orange confetti. To all those that wore the hat of shame, you made that look good.

Sorry couldn't resist, we used to hand out the pink tutu to all who spun in the first session. Tried to respond to your PM but it was full.

Looks like it turned out to be an awesome event!!

Nice one Chad... 1st session on Saturday the Road Course was a mess, I lost the front end on the G8 going through the "Start/Finish" on my 1st lap, luckily I recovered it before it understeered me into the barriers. And I kept washing the front end going over the painted stripe on the back section.

I wish the Saturday people got as much seat time as the Sunday people. The practice sessions in the morning, and timing in the afternoon was a big improvement I think.

That's awesome---I'm stoked you have a pic of the car with the remains of the El Toro fringe---a little detail spray and you were back in the game and handing the hat off to me shortly thereafter. Great pic and congrats on the times you posted up for the various sections---very cool.

Rico Suave---I can honestly say Scott, no one looks as good in that hat as you, except Sal. Did i see that you posted this pic as your Facebook profile pic? That's going a bit too far my friend.
