:)I forgot my camera and didn't get any shots of my car or the 83 other cars on the track. If anyone has some pics or video and doesn't mind sharing, I'd love to show my kids (particulary my two boys - they are dying to see some of their dad on the track). I did see a post in here with some photos and also saw a few on the MotorState website, but would love to see more!

I had a great time, you have amazing cars and can really drive. I'd also like to thank Randy Bell for giving me some driving tips, it was nice of him and increadibly brave to get in the car with me.

Randy is the man. He rode with me during my laps last year their and he is an absolute hoot and a great instructor. Hated my car was not ready for the event.

I was registered to run, but the gremlins got to my car and I had to leave it home. Here are the pics I shot. http://s138.photobucket.com/albums/q249/toadman2230/Motorstate%20Challenge%202011/ Sorry, I didn't pics of the group with the Cobra. I must have been sulking that my car was home at the time...

I really like that yellow Camaro. It reminds me of the old Carrera versions.

Driving for the 1st time on the track and asking so many questions. 69 Camaro #4. I didn't take a single photo. Thanks for sharing the photos.

Jeff - My friend loves your Tempest. I'll have to make sure he looks at that picture (wheel off the ground!)

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Jim. Did you see are pictures in this thread?. Your car, events and safety! https://www.pro-touring.com/showthread.php?80735-Your-car-events-and-safety!&goto=newpost

( I was ridding with Jim) Thanks for the opportunity to go out with you. I wish we had more time to go out on the track and go over things in the pits, It would of made you even faster than you were. Randy,

Randy, I said pictures of me "ON THE TRACK"!!!! I was kind of hoping no one got a shot of me in the grass... It figures right, one of the only shots of me is off the track.. I thought going the grass in a straight line was a safer bail-out than trying to make the turn after I missed the braking point (cone), it was one of those split second decisions - I did not want to roll the car.
Randy seriously, I knew nothing about driving lines and what the cones meant, but after riding with you on my last time out - I was starting to figure it out. You helped me a ton in that run, I wish I did better with you in the car _ but I was listening and did learn even though at the time it did not seem like it. I applied as much as I could on my next run and knocked off several seconds. Your help actually got me in the top 15 and it was the first time I had ever been on a track. The car is crazy fast, way faster than I would dare drive it (I was over 145MPH on the back straight), those boys at Backdraft Racing know what they are doing... NEXT TIME, I'll GIVE YOU THE KEYS AND YOU CAN SHOW ME WHAT IT CAN REALLY DO! and I'll take some pictures of that. Thanks again, hope to see all of you soon.

That was the write thing to do. The last thing you want to do is go off track side ways if you can help it. Besides I saw some nice flowers wile we were out their. Congats on top 15. You have some good skills and with a little practice you will be very fast. Randy

It's an expensive lawnmower... I'm serious about you taking it for a few laps Randy, I'd like to see what the car can do. Here's some photo's from Lane:
