Default Finally got the new race car home :

After an aborted 1st attempt, after driving all the way to Florida and turning around without the car 5 hours later due to a family emergency, I was sucessful in picking up the new car.

Thanks to Scott Lagasse Jr. and his crew for all the great prep work they did the last 2 days. A classy bunch of folks for sure.












Looks like Road Atlanta could be the first event with the new car in a couple of months. Looking forward to it

Congrats Bill! I hope to make one of your events next year and I'm jealous of your new (and old) car. That looks like a lot of fun.
