By the look of the names on that list, I'm guessing Simon and his friends were there!   ;D

I thought of Simon a couple weeks ago when I was in the dells.  we were eating at an IHOP and were served by an entire wait staff of (I believe) Polish women...

I had to comment that Simon's franchise was growing.  My wife about fell out of the booth.

You went to that, huh?  I was thinking about going but with MotoGP on in the afternoon and an endurance race at Chicago Indoor that evening, there was no way I'd make it.  

I decided late this morning to go to Gman - that is cool you'll be there!  What did you buy?  New S4?

these guys were good, most of them were polish and were really into like us and our bikes, spare rims, racing tires and gas, stripped interior
it was pretty serious i guess
i got rid of the escalade and got a Evo MR with some minor mods

dave, the track was the  lake geneva raceway same as the dirt bike track is, its a oval and they set up a track using the infield as well, one time on the track at a time
lap times were a minute

They'll probably put me in beginner group.  I've only been to Gingerman once, and it was only as a passenger in my buddy's ITB Neon, on a cold-ass rainy day.  We spent most of the day digging his car out of the sand traps.

I do know that we can take passengers so long as we keep the cars on the pavement.  If we're in different groups, I want a ride in the Evo.
