Looking through the pro photographer's pictures I found this great action photo of Cathy's dirt bath. :lol:

...and she couldn't even get on the podium for the Ag Award! :roflmao:

Here's a nice shot of Steve on three wheels:

Wow- just think of the time I could have gotten if I used all the tires at once!
3 on the asphalt beats 4 in the dirt any day!

Thank you to Jack and Robert for another great event!

As for me, my car experienced a broken (sheared!) front right spindle two laps into the first session Saturday, fortunately without consequences. Everybody helped me to try to find an '86 944 Turbo front spindle but to no avail (replacement will have to come from Germany), so I was out for the weekend. Or was I..? The cavalry came to rescue. Would you believe it, Mike Brown lent me his 968 to race for the weekend. Just told me "go see what it can do". Who does that! A prince of a man! Thank you Mike for this incredible gesture. You saved my weekend. Thought everybody should find out the kind of friend and generous person you are. :D

Otto, Glad you got to finish the weekend driving Mikes "other" car. It's obvious that he didn't look at your avatar before lending the car to you. :lol:
Hope to see you at more events next year. :beerchug:
