Well, in my humble opinion, the track day and spring car show for the Texas area Tens and Twenties Car Club was a roaring success. We had enough guys show up to cover the cost of the track and we all got in as much track time as we wanted. The weather even cooperated, this was the first April weekend, for the last few years at least, that it didn't rain. I did manage to keep my bald melon covered but got a wicked sunburn on my legs. My 1200, Gil, ran flawlessly and was a ton of fun despite the lack of support offered by the seats and the way the seatbelt rubbed my neck. We had a few 510s show up and run too. Alex Moreno (sorry if I missed on spelling) had the most spectacular spin of the day. This wasn't too tough to decide since there were only two true spins, and his was the only one to make it a full 360. I tried to take some pictures of Gil on the track while John was driving it, but gave up when I decided I suck at photograpy. John, tensandtwenties, may have gotten some good shots, we'll see what he has and post them later. All in all, it was a good day and I'm looking forward to doing it again. Tim p.s. My Subaru was a hoot to flog around too. p.p.s. Some Volkswagen guys were there too and they seemed to be having fun. John Ullom (once again, sorry if I misspelled it) had the other spin in his Rabbit Pickup. His was the first. p.p.p.s Since it was all for fun, we didn't take any times for the laps so don't ask who was the fastest of the day.
