Guys,
We have the GGLC t-hill event coming up, and just wanted to add a few words of caution and encouragement. Let's all remember to have fun, drive within our limits, not have lapses of cocentration, and be completely courteous out there. There will be a lot of Evos on track with the lotus folks and other makes. Frankly, Evo drivers are getting a bit of a negative rep off and on the track, and we can do a lot by our behaviour to dispel the growing negative opinion. There have been a few track days I have done with TMR and NCRC where I have received a few wisecracks about making sure I "keep the shiny side up, since I drive an Evo." There have been three rollovers in the past two years by Evo's at thunderhill alone....I'm not so sure any other Marque has such a dubious distinction. So, let's not get in over our heads. The natural tendency is to compete, but none of us are racing yet, so discretion is advisable.
Not wanting to preach, but just want to make sure that we are all safe. Peace guys, see you out there on wednesday.
Percy
