I had a great time. Good seeing everyone. The food was a little overcooked, but outside of that, it was a great time. Dan had the nicest car there.

Where the hell are the pics and videos you took??
Good reminder.... They'll be up soon, wait for it.
The vid of us nearly butt ramming Glock turned out great, you can hear us panicking and cursing in the background!

That was definitely a really really close call and could have been disastrous. I think everyone got on the gas a bit because of that little straight away right before the blind corner.
I don't remember if my brakes locked up but I think I also swerved because I was afraid of the car behind me ramming into us even if I was able to stop right behind you. I don't even want to think of what could have happened if it was a few seconds more..
Anyway, the video on Vimeo is not as clear as the original since it was converted from an AVI file to MP4. Also, the original video was not that great cause we had sun reflections against the windshield. I also didn't configure the camera right so you can barely hear any sound; except when I was talking on my bluetooth. LOL!

That was me behind you. I saw you doing something crazy ahead of me so I slowed prior to the corner, but it definitely wasn't the smoothest stop I have ever done. My wife was in the car and was not a happy camper.

Let's see it already. I am already LMAO at the audio portion and I haven't even seen / heard it yet...
I can only imagine, which happens to be quite funny in the meantime...
