Pig & Jen, my wife, Dona, and John Tongish conspired together to give me a huge surprise yesterday at the NASA June Jam at Road Atlanta. John flew in from Southern Cal. to be here for my very first track time in the coupe. I got out of the coupe after my first track session and there was John Tongish. I'm not sure what I said but it was probably something like "Holy Cow!"

Thanks to Pig & Jen, Dona & John for a great surprise! What a great Father's Day weekend ... good friends, good food, lots of "liquids" to keep hydrated ... 8 track sessions in blistering heat. Oh, yeah, and the "mother of all thunderstorms!"

Thanks, also, to Joe Camire & Bob Stuke for helping me diagnose and fix a bad shaking/vibration that started in my second track session ... turned out to be a loose pin drive adapter. Of course, Mark Dougherty happened by, as well. Joe managed to find a 12mm allen wrench and torque wrench (thanks, Jim Schenk!) to manage the repair. We checked the other 3 wheels as well, but only the one wheel was affected.

BTW, got signed off for solo!

Happy Father's Day to all!

Garry,

So glad you enjoyed your "surprise." :>)) That John Tongish and all of your friends there are just the sneaky ones for sure......I almost let the cat out of the bag when we were talking on the phone the other day....Yikes! That was close!

Talked to Mark D. today, and it sounds like everyone had a great weekend.......Here's to you for a successful on-track weekend with your beautiful Coupe...I look forward to joining you at RA in the future....Big Congratulations!!! You rock!
