Was the worst spot ever. I couldn't believe he stopped there, of all places. I felt like pulling over and getting out and saying something. However, the M handled like a Cheetah coming around that corner. Thank god I replaced all the brake pads yesterday. Hahahaha! I can't wait for the M Driving School in a few weeks.

Yeah the trucker is lucky that someone didn't beat him senseless. What a moron -- stopping in the middle of a blind corner.

Enjoy M School. Now that sounds fun.

That will be the deciding factor on whether I keep my car or not.

BTW Scott - thanks for taking over the Meet. Really appreciate it. You did an outstanding job.

Thanks. Any time Calton. I am sure that when we redo the meet, with you attending and organizing, we'll get 80 cars again.

Maybe I shouldn't have joked so much about not coming and made such a big deal about. LOL! Hahahahahaha! Oh well. However, I will say it's much easier managing these runs with a smaller group. In fact, I like it more.

Yes, no doubt that managing the 15 cars who showed to the second Poconos meet or the 5-6 that showed to last year's SR125 meet was a lot less stressful than dozens of cars. But it is great to see everyone in the large meets.

Are you talking about the truck at the 35 second mark of the video that I posted? That thing caught me by surprise a few times when I was going up and down the road.
