Had a great time today!
I-77 was stop and go, so we slipped over to I-85 which was a parking lot! Thank God for the "alternate route" function on Tom-Tom.

We had a blast...and ate way too much!! Thanks again to Russ and Lisa, Eric and the Velocity gang for a fun afternoon!  I apologize if I've mis-identified anyone in the Gallery...let me know so I can fix any errors! Someone tell me the name of the dude with the BRG Elise! I thought it started with an A...I'm SO bad at names...I apologize!

Our pics are up. Check out the cool panoramic one I got! We had a ball and, once again, the weather worked with us. Thanks to everybody and a BIG thanks to Velocity for hosting us. It is great that they are getting hooked up with Sector 111 - now we just need them to work a deal with JAE for us Esprit guys  OK - nap time. We introduced Steve to a couple of uptowns watering holes last night and I can feel it now

We had a great time as well. Definately ate too much. Now the problem is I have more food than I arrived with especially the desserts. Crap!
It's all going to work tomorrow with me.
Thanks to everyone who made it. Can't wait til next month.

Thanks to Velocity!
Had to bail a little early as I was getting a wierd squeal noise from my car. Not sure what it is yet. Didnt seem to effect performance at all, but it was coming from the back engine area.

The early theories are belt related or clutch throwout bearing. No noise while easy driving but when I was pushing it during the drive, it made the noise.
