They make nice rims. There are a lot of group buys for them. I was tempted a few times. I still have an extra set of rims at home. Perhaps I should sell them as they are a perfect fitment for Mustangs.

Well we are down to one more sleep and it's track time.
Weather has been a roller coaster with then forecasting rain virtually 100% all day as of yesterday but this am things are changing in our favor. As those that have attended in the past know, can be pouring rain in the city and the bunch of us come home from the track sun burnt. Fingers crossed.

Becoming cloudy in the morning. 40 percent chance of showers in the afternoon. Risk of a thunderstorm in the afternoon. High 22. Humidex 25. UV index 6 or high.

Great seeing you again JR. But you need to get that hot rod out on the track so we can see your skip barber skills!

What a great time out at the track! A lot of really cool cars. Thanks for putting this together Rick and Ross!

The Lean Machine performed amazing! Ran strong all day. Had a few squirrelly moments, adjusting to the new power, but kept it on the track.

It was a great day!! Thank you Booth Automotive for organizing this event. A good turnout and a good variety of cars. Ol Paint ran strong all day and I felt really good behind the wheel. It was great seeing the one and only Jack Racoon. To top it off, on the way home we stopped off at Wally Par’s for a delicious sausage on a bun. You can’t ask for a better day than that.

Track day in the rearview.................in spite of rain in the forecast, only got a few drops as we were packing up to head home. Lots n lots n lots of track time had by all. Thank you to the large group that attended and a huge shout out to the TMP concession stand staff that kept us fed (fries n dog were killer good). My sincere thanks to Ross, Stephen and Katrinka for all their efforts today, you guys made it happen. Man that ZL1 of Sukis sounds like a monster out there.

Moving forward, this was a tough one, Ross and I have decided the fall date will be our last one. Registration for it is open now but unlike events in the past, number of spots available is going to be limited. Been a privilege leading the charge on this event which started back in the GTAMC years.

I didn’t break the car. The car didn’t break me. It was a great day at the track!
Thanks TMC for putting this on.

my son Noah and i had a memorable time at the track yesterday. well organized and loads of fun.
a huge shout out of appreciation to Rick and his helpers.
my little 4-cylinder turbo mustang surprised me both with it's speed and handling. i took it a touch easier than the last time, and didn't spin out.
unfortunately for me, this is likely my last time. i'm turning 73 next month, and in the aftermath of my accident two years ago, i'm just not physically robust enough to do this for a whole day any more. I was so wiped that Noah drove home and i slept the entire way.
Anyway, thanks again to Rick Booth and the rest of the crew.

Glad to hear it was a great day for all, very sorry to have missed this. I know this is well advertised as the last one for the Booth group but can only hope that changes over the winter and there are more to come

Good morning, Happy New Year to everyone. Hope your sanity survived another day Don. ;)
Ross has been working on me since the early fall which brings me to sharing with everyone we are aiming to do one track day this year. Target is for mid to later June (likely a Thursday), of course details pending what I can arrange with TMP. Format for the day would be a copy of what we did last year. Thank you again to Stephen for agreeing to stay on board as well.

What do I need from you

- sign up early. Confirms you really do care if this continues year after year.
- we could use more volunteers to flag during the day. No specific amount of time required. An hour or so be great, a couple of sessions in a row be appreciate just as much.

I don't have anything else to share right now, more details soon as I have them.

Rick
