Then on to go karts great time,then 10 pizzas. To kill time Dan Walt & I played miniature golf. Then back up 2 the track for another session which was way better than any one could imagine. Patti 2 bad you & chris couldn't stay 4 the last one. I don't who set this all up but thank you very very very much 4 all your work and effort on a great day. This was the best day I have had with the Camaro guys this year. The only thing I ask is you guys have 2 slow down a little so I can keep up with all of you.. 4 your time.

All I can say, what a great time and a great bunch of people. I'm very proud that Poopsy strapped on a pair and went around with all of us. She will be doing it in the spring fer sure. I want to thank all the people who worked to put this together. Is it time to do it again? I'm ready to go again and wished for the energy. Really had a good time with the gocarts passing everybody. Yeehaw. Can't wait till the spring. Again thank y'all for a really great day.

A big Thank You to Spike for the support at bringing up the rear. I managed to hit a 96 on the straight way. Thanks to Rich, Brian and countless others for their words of support and encouragement to even get on the track and try.

I think it is safe to say, I will do it again next year.

Go Karts were a blast as well. It was great to see old friends and meet new ones. And all the cars looked great as well.

Lets have a safe and short winter and get back out there.

Got home safe and sound! What a great day of high speed fun, both track and karts! I can't wait to see some of Joebots videos! Good to see you all and I can't wait till next year already!

Home safe! Thanks everyone, including the staff at Watkins Glen for an awesome memorable day!
That was a fun run from the track, back to the thruway, too! But that just felt normal after a fast 5! My face is sore from all day perma-grin!

Thank You UpstateC5 for a really fun day on the track at WGI and the go carts! It was great to get back together with members I met a year ago and meeting new ones. We made it home safe and sound mostly in daylight which was my goal but damn wish I woulda stayed for 5 laps.. Ohh well there is always next season.

Mike, this was the 8 rib setup that I'm having installed by ECS. This thing just sounds like a monster. Cam specs are pretty close, and all other supporting mods are close to the same as well. U can see the intake setup I have to go back to, but I actually think it looks better.

He was making 714/758 in this video. I guess it's closer to 730/760 now. I'm gonna back mine down to 660-675 once it's finished.

Great pics. glad everyone got home safe. I must say Dan sure stands out with his new mullet hair piece this year. It grew quite a bit from last year & he changed color from blue.

What a great day at the tracks. The Glen and the kart track were a blast. It was a really cool day spent with UpstateC5 friends and will help get me through the long winter ahead.
The run from Geneva to home was as exciting as the runs on the track. Thanks to Spike and his radar we were moving right along.
We will need to work on some get togethers over the next 6 cold months.
Here are a few memories shot with my phone.
