Thanks to Jack and Robert and the rest of the crew for putting on another great event. Who would have thought we could go to Buttonwillow in December to escape the bad weather in San Diego?
Thumbnails are up on Flickr for 12-1:

And 12-2 (thanks to Tawfik for shooting some of the later timed runs including a nice 944 Spec spin by Debbie Sharp):

Thanks for the great the event and all these great photos. I meant to buy some pictures at the track, but I got distracted by Jad's fuel story. :shock:

Fantastic job Kris on the TTOD.

Greg, Great pics (and Tawfik) Love the spin sequence by Deb. I had a blast and the weather was perfect. The drive back only took half the time as the drive there on Friday. There's nothing more frustrating than driving in the rain, in traffic, towing a trailer. :banghead:
Tawfik - Awesome driving. :bowdown:

Jim - Thanks for all your help and instruction. I appreciate how calm you stayed for my slide through the dirt. :shock:

I have some good video as well.
Martin was riding with me following Paul Young into bus stop and he lost it.
The other video is when I ran in the red group, I was following Martin through Riverside, he was following an Orange 914.
The 914 broke down and stayed on the outside of riverside limping.
Martin passed the 914 on the inside and I followed him.
As soon as Martin passed him, the 914 decided to go park in the dirt on the inside at the exit of Riverside.
I can only assume that he didn t see me coming and he cut across.
I had no choice but follow his trajectory into the dirt. :shock:
I got within inches of running into his side!!

I ll post video as soon as I edit all the F bombs I was yelling once I got into the dirt.

Thanks, Martin. It was mighty sporting of you to coach me on my shift points through the bus stop. :wink:
