Ferrari Mailing List: Re: NFC: Grand Canyon Skywalk Bridge

Mike,

I like to think of my driving style as "defensive" as in the best defense is a 
good offense...  LOL (did I get that backwards?)

Gingerman/Lemons registration due Saturday at midnight.  The event is April 
17-18 I think.  That weekend for sure though.  We will probably be running a 
two car team.  Interested if we have a spot?

An outing with the Vette museum?  No thanks.  I hate parades... (chuckle)

Ice autocross with the BMW CCA is in two weeks - Feb 20th with alternative 
dates also planned in case of inclement weather.  I think Richmond is only 20 
minutes from you.  I'll forward you the info.  Anyone else in the Chicago/WI 
area interested?

Rodney

Rodney,

Every time I get on the roads in Chicago I am glad most people don't drive like 
you :)

When is the Lemons at Gingerman?  I think I will go out to Autobahn with the 
Vette Museum but that's later in the year, not sure I want to instruct that 
one... Might end up with a rookie in a twin turbo ZR1 (Yikes!)...  I am still 
waiting for an invite to the Audi Ice Lake AX...  Not sure they are doing that 
this year...   And of course would need some of Jim's Hekka's :)

BR,
Mike

As some of you may recall, I took a rental car to the Skywalk Bridge.  The 
drive/rally was just as awesome BUT if I were to do it again, I'd take the 
helicopter ride from Vegas to the Skybridge.  IIRC, you can do ride, a 
decent/good buffet lunch and bridge for about $100.  I went in '07.  Look for 
coupons in the Vegas mags or online.  If you want me to send you pics, drop a 
line.  If I'd go again, I would probably go into the canyon next trip.

Brief Recap: 20 plus miles of gravel road made for a car that you don't own and 
have insurance on.  I got the rental airborne 3 times and the parking brake 
never felt the same again.  You must fill up the tank at the station off the 
highway before you proceed or you will run out of fuel if you drive like me.  
People who drove their own car took 45 min to an hour because of poor 
road/perfect rally conditions.  I took just over 20 min and followers weren't 
able to keep up let alone pass...

Anyone else doing 24 hours of Lemons at Gingerman?
