Just wanted to say thanks to Dave and Revkah, Chuck and Dave D. for
a great comp school, all of the sponsors, and support staff for a super
fun weekend! :D

Personal thanks as well to Rick and Gary for all of their time and effort
to get my car ready, in addition to help over the weekend to change out
a sway bar end link at 10PM Fri night, swap brake pads (thanks to Mike
for that too), and get me strapped into the car and ready to race!

Interesting drive home too in the 944-spec car. Race, street, and
snow :eek: -- these little beasts can handle anything!

I sincerely hope everyone made it home safely.

Hello Everyone!

Thanks so much to everyone who put this amazing experience together for us and to my instructors Scott and Doug for all their patience and good advice. I even put some of it to use to get my car home in the snow.

Thanks for making Erik and I feel so welcome. I am sure that we will be back again!

Take care,
Beth

Yes, thanks for yet another great weekend! It looks like I'll need to get that last 100 lbs out of my car and pick up my R888's... My 944 competitors really made me work to keep up. Good job guys! Was I the only one still on RA-1's?

Just got home.

Thanks to all the directors, instructors, comp-school instructors for a great weekend.

Thanks to my comp-school buddies, we did a great job and EVERYONE passed!

Thanks to my CMC/AI buddies, especially Rich and Kyle for helping out with spare parts and sharing your knowledge with me this weekend. Nothin' like using a Sawzall (thanks MHISSTC) to cut a hole above a fuel tank/fuel lines in complete darkness (except a flashlight) to diagnose a fix a fuel pump issue. Thanks to Rich for the gasket sealer stuff and Mike Adams (HPDE 1) for a temporary fix that prevented another few gallons of gas to spill on the track while in hard right hand turns.

Thanks Raybob for the driving lessons that I shall not repeat to anyone :)

If I have missed anyone, sorry...THANK YOU!

Thank you Hank and your staff for getting the car ready for me in such short notice and the amount of hours after closing you put in to get all of us done before this event.

Finally, thanks to MHISSTC for the amount of time you put in to get the car "legal" for the first event of the year. Also a thanks to your wife and kids for allowing you to help me and assisting us in the build :)

I think thats it...except the fun that I had running in the rain and snow with no wipers (I did have Rain-x on the car but it didnt do very well).

Can you feel the love in this chatroom?

my thanks as well to all of the above. FANTASTIC!

I'm sure Chuck, Dave and Chris like having all us comp school rookies around... more bodies underrfoot makes them stand a little higher!

Thanks to all for a great and eye-opening weekend: The crew that helped me get my car on the trailer yesterday as I was trying to beat the weather to Ft Collins.
Dave and Revkah for creating such a good organization.
Chuck and Dave for a great comp school and for coming by me at the end of the race on Sunday, giving me a great look at some hard-fought racing. Bruce Mock for taking the time to play with me. My fellow students who had a great time and attitude.
Kevin and all the group leaders for their hard work. Hank for tech. And all the safety crews and corner workers, without which we couldn't do this.

BIG thanks to Dave, Revkah, Kevin, ERC, workers, and all those involved with making for a fantastic race & comp school weekend!

Special thanks to Master Porsche Mechanic Gunter at DART AUTO for his consultation for deciding whether or not to run my car in Sunday's race... Battling it out with Chuck was one of the best races I've ever experienced. "Adjusting" each other's side view mirrors at 100mph is some very close racing if you ask me...

Also a big thanks to my 944-Spec cake-eating buddies for helping me get my car back together after it was deemed a "parts car" for the weekend!

Can't tell everyone how glad I am to be a part of this organization!!

I'll add my thanks to all who helped made the weekend so successful. Special thanks to the corner works for being out there in the cold! I'm glad to be part of the NASA family - lots of opportunities for fun and growth. :D

My friend Mike who I urged to join us with his '08 Z06 in HPDE 1 just called me to tell me how much fun he had and has already scheduled himself to come to Pueblo for the next 2 events...he even wants to drive to Miller for the Friday HPDE 1 class!

He said he learned A LOT and is still learning how to effectively use the brakes in his car amongst other things. He has a couple of friends with Corvettes and Z06' that I think may join but I'm not positive about that. He's been talking about his Saturday outing all day today :)

Needless to say...he's hooked :D and is looking forward to going up the HPDE ladder into at least 2 and I would guess 3.

I have to thank everyone, from Dave and Revkah to my fellow 944 spec racers! I had the best time ever!!!!! I am definately hooked. Special thanks to #76 my hubby :p, I couldn't have been there without all of your hard work. All of you are the greatest and I can't wait until May!

Yeah, thanks, Dave and Revkah! It was another great weekend, as always. Like I say, the people are what make NASA-RM great, and you two are the lead people!

The new NISMO 350Z guy that was with us 350Z guys is already convinced he wants to come to Pueblo in May, and maybe even MMP in June!!!

Thanks to NASA and every one involved for another great event. Especially the corner worker, grid, safety and everyone else that stayed out in the cold all day so the ones driving could have fun. I had a great time running with everyone from hpde 3 and I also want to thank the instructors with helping me become a better driver. I'll try my best to see you guys at MMP. :D

Thanks for an awesome start to the season Dave and Revka. I also want to thank the corner workers and safety crew who were especially on-the-ball this past weekend. And Jo Anne Miller for helping Revka out in the timing and scoring booth - I know it gets hectic up there. And lastly for Kevin who managed to lead Group 3 and do several check-rides on top of his already overambitious schedule. You all work so hard so the rest of us can have some fun - your dedication is unmatched.

Thank you so much Dave and Revkah and all of the workers out there braving the cold and making the weekend so fun, special thanks to my instructor David for teching me so much in just one weekend! I had an excellent experience in HPDE 1 and 2, I can't believe I've missed out on this for so long, I hope to make many more this year and I think I'll make the trip for miller!

What an awesome weekend! Thank you to all the folks that make this possible. It was my first time at a NASA event...I worked corners, and despite the weather I had a great time! I'm really impressed by what a great group of people this is. Everyone I talked to was very friendly, and I learned a lot, even without driving. I've already scheduled msyelf for the next event and will be driving HPDE1. I so can't wait to get out on track...May can't come soon enough!

Hey Dave 90TT, before long you'll have another G35 to play with...too bad I'll never be able to keep up with your car, haha. What happened to it, anyway? I saw that you were blowing smoke, and then didn't see you out there Sunday.

Possible bad PCV valve, or maybe something worse. Might be time for a built engine. I'm hoping it's just the PCV valve.
