me as thoughts of customizing two perfectly fine Wedges went thru my head,
running the one lane road at speed, and generally having a great time
Well ..(said sheepishly with head hung low).. you never mentioned that the
rest of the weekend, so I was sorta hoping maybe you didn't notice. That
near-incident resulted from miss-communication with my navigator - i was
looking
left and i thought he called clear right and ahead and it turned out we were
both looking left - we speculated on how many points we almost took off that
Preservation Class winning TR7 of yours and maintained better communication
throughout the rest of the run - yeah, we got lost, but we agreed that we were
lost. I sincerely apologize for causing those thoughts of unintended Wedge
customization. We hope you didn't mind us following the NCTA group as much as
we did - you guys maintained a comfortably brisk pace and were great company
- and I'm certain that nobody had a better navigator than Beverly.
I have to say one of my most memorable moments was on day 2 when I watched
your TR7 crest a hill in front of me and then drop instantly and completely out
of sight as the far side of the hill dropped off precipitously - and yes,
that one lane road was a blast - especially after you missed the hairpin and
got out of our way (just kidding) - heck the whole thing was a blast - I
drove 1,773 miles in 79 hours - for me that was 733 miles of undulating,
twisting
Sports Car Nirvana on The Run and 1,040 miles of pleasantly uneventful
interstate travel to get there and back.
I can't wait til next year!
Cheers,
Jack Mc
