Last weekend I just got back from the Road America 500 American Lemans race. It was amazing! We camped with friends and on friday night we managed to have dinner with Terry Borcheller and his co-driver Johny Mowlem! Grin

(Saleen S7 Team)

My dad let me go touring on the track with our mazda MX-5. One night, on the side of the street I found a Porsche Carrera Gt! I also got to sit inside a Lotus Elise, which is my "practical dream car" and amazingly, I fit!

The only downside to the trip was on the big race day, the Saleen S7 broke its transmission, and then lost its wheel!......SO the Vettes won Sad

Porsche Carrera Gt, and our mazda (in the Back)

Our party with the drivers

the elise is a fun car, i have a friend who has one. he is a former football player too (6'4"), and had the seating brackets replaced and moved back so he has a bit more room to drive. it is a fun car.

love the gt's plates
