    Fun at the Track

    This is the reward for all those hours building and fussing over your baby. Enjoy!

    Walt,
    Your great video really made this Perkasie boy jealous! My brother and I used to go there to watch the IMSA races. The sight and sound of a prototype going under the bridge and upshifting at the exit was a sight and sound never to be forgotten. I'm glad you and Ruby enjoyed it - I bet you smiled all the way back to Bucks county!!

    The drive home over the Walt Whitman bridge and through the city of Philadelphia is always is always a treat after a fun day at the track.

    My daughter is an Architect in Baltimore, so I know your location. I think you are even closer to NJMP then I am, so maybe I will see you there sometime.

    Looks like a great track for a run in the roadster.. Car sounds good. You did a good job of the driving.

    Great video! Renewed motivation to get it finished. You made the driving look easy, effortless. How much track time do you have?

    I have been to Watkins Glen, Thunderbolt (NJMP), and Lightning (NJMP) three times each for a total of about 18 hours of track time. I would have liked much more, but weather is always a major concern when you're driving a roadster.
