I was in front so I did not see it. I sure did hear about it when we did an unplanned stop after Snow Hill Road to let member vw2545's tranny reset. Snow Hill Road is a real challenge and it's easy for even a really good driver to lose it and wipe out.

The important thing is that Gregg almost wiped out. He saved it and avoided going off the road. That's what counts.

I sure did see a lot of Joe as his M5 was close behind my 550. And on Snow Hill Road, I was going full tilt.

Well, Joe was following me pretty closely on Snow Hill Road. But speed there is limited more by available traction than engine power. And I was going full tilt.

Craig:

We've got a ton of members in the NY/NJ/CT/PA area. Over 60 cars showed for the April 25th Bear Mountain meet. Only 6 showed for the June 6th Poconos/Suz
Sussex/Harriman Meet. That means that there are a lot of members who may want to go on a future meet but could not make June 6th. So I'm gonna do a repeat of the June 6th route (which will probably be on July 25) and Vlad is planning an upstate NY meet. There is a mini-meet on the Jersey shore this Saturday. And I am thinking of planning one for the most hellacious and dangerous road of them all within 150 miles of New York City. And some are talking about doing a Long Island or Floyd Bennett Field meet centered more on cruising and showing off the cars than hard driving.

We're lucky here in the NYC metro area -- just as they are in California. When you've got a lot of interested members, multiple meets that suit different member's wants are possible.

Y'all should just get together like a 100 people or so and try and rent out a race track for a day. Or, better yet, get a course set up yourself. Where there's a will, there's a way

And yes, it was that good
