Summer Scenic Drive to Road America July 7th UPDATED

Definitely was a perfect day for it and a lot of fun. 

Unfortunately it made me realize how much I need to force myself to dedicate time for track days again. Especially since we ran in to some of my old track buddies who were on track yesterday. I've clearly been focusing too much on money and not enough on fun. I am now officially looking for a ragmuffin trackrat E46 M3.

Thanks for organizing this, it was great to see people, fast cars, hundreds of missed apexes at Canada Corner, and a muffler flying off of an E30.

Ive been to ALMS at Miller Motorsports Park which was cool, but I get a bigger thrill seeing regular folks building regular cars and driving them for some reason.

Come to the Hawk vintage races in less than 2 weeks, it's a lot of regular folks.  I will have a campsite and there is a large group of Wibimmers folks in the carousel too.

I didn't see that active compact there. I wonder if it was a slicktop too=0 The crazy thing is that makes three of us there lol.

This was fun, even if I left with a strong desire to buy another car. Thanks for organizing, Snap!

Great pics Dan! Thanks for putting this on Snap, I vote to make this a new tradition. Or even better a cruise to October fast, the only club event I haven't been to 

Also yes that's the 318 that chucked it's muffler off on Canada. It was quite amusing.

Thanks snap, this was an amazing first time at RA. I also vote that this should become a tradition.

This was a great event, the weather was perfect, and I had a blast.

I also have to say thanks to all of you that helped push my FORD powered car back to life.    (both times)

When I made it back I checked and I have a good battery and good voltage when running, the starter definitely failed.
