Well with Ian, the only time I remember was driving his car, and I don't
remember going all that fast.  With Bruce, I took him out to route 8 in the
89 (towards utica NY through the adirondacks) but we ran out of gas (or were
sloshing it hard enough to not pick up) so I didn't get much up to speed
with Bruce.

I took another fella I worked with for a 1 am ride in the 89 (with race
tires) through the same backroads (route 8), came through a corner ~95-100
mph and whiffed past a NYS trooper in a Jeep Cherokee.  (around a corner,
it's like... oh...there he is..there he went).  I say to nathan (now on a
straight and pulling away, watching the guy's tailights in the rearview
slowing down/turning around)  "That was a cop".  nathan's response was
simple and classic, one arm clinched on the roll cage, the other on the
seat.

"I don't think he's gonna catch you"

LOL.  good times.

I do miss the summer's up there.  I told suz once we finish building here,
we are buying some land up there, when I retire I can go live up there from
May-Oct and race at all the cool NE tracks :)  I have been on some great
backroads to and from various track events, and have some great weekend
road-trip memories from up there.

Still planning on the Oct Watkins glen and limerock time trials, and a week
vacation between the 2 events in upstate NY.
