Your cross-country trip must have been quite the experience, Rick. Sorry to have read about your mechanical difficulties, but I can relate to having mechanical issues well away from home. Incidentally, my wife's sister had a car very much like yours back in the late 60's. I'm quite sure that it was even the same color.
Jan - one of the tricks to keeping rain out of the car at a track day when you are almost always required to keep windows next to occupied seats open is to maintain speed. Unfortunately, this is working at cross-purposes to an introductory track day . . . bummer. It took me a while to get used to the GoPro, and I still have to check that it's shooting video and that I didn't let it beep an extra time to "stills".
Great news, Skip.
Abaucom - bet you're glad to be done with court. Do try to avoid owning any of that cyclist's error (and good on the cyclist for owning up to it, too rare of a thing anymore). Take Diane's advice of not putting your driving on hold.
The weekend before last I finally got to enjoy the Father's Day gift from my daughter. She bought me into an Exotic Car driving experience for one car, and not advertised was the opportunity to add more laps in the same or in another car at a relative bargain price. Although helmets were not required (which at the 65 - 70 mph in a parking lot that I know for fact was possible I kind of question) I did wear mine at least partly for recording my own videos for a different view point than the available car cameras were taking.
First up, 5 laps in a Ferrari F430
Then 7 laps in a Lamborghini Gallardo (the original gift)
and 3 laps in a Porsche 911 Turbo S
no, I wasn't going to waste any bucket-list drives just cruising and coasting . . .
Took this long to get everything put together.
