It was not a race, more of a road rally and although I started out mid pack I beat everyone to the meet spot. hahaha

A pack of us behind you pulled back onto 280 (not sure why, I was following the leader) and got back off on Sand Hill. I think maybe we got distracted by the pack of 8-10 CHP squad cars just sitting around at the corner of 84 and 280? We weren't speeding but it was still nerve wracking.

I think you guys missed a turn off cause the route I took led me to the end where I turned left onto Sand Hill and drove past 280 to get into Stanford. I did see a Sheriff pass me on the other side as I was on the radio trying to raise Joe and he was staring at me probably thinking I'm on my cell and not using hands free. Thought he was going to bust a U but he didn't. haha

Hey Ed, you know member Test Jet (Mike) for 6speed right? I was talking about you and your car and he said he's exchanged many PMs with you. Man, this car thing is tight knit community.
Haha, yeah. We exchanged a few PM's on 6speed about car covers and EVOMS power upgrades. He's got one of the nicest Carrera White turbos around. It's perfect. Thinking about getting the same power setup as him (EVT 700).
