just noticed something.

jason, here's an unblurred version of the photo so you don't feel left out.

This is great. 

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.

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

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.

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.

I had such a great time today, thanks so much for everyone who came out to enjoy it! It was my first time at RA and it was like visiting heaven for a little bit. 

A few tidbits from the day:

....

 Great to meet you @wally509, that E21 is just gorgeous and its great to see it being enjoyed! 

Hope everyone else enjoyed the day as much as I did

Great to meet everyone as well.  Thanks for being friendly to the new guy (me), who also happens to be the old guy (me).

I wish I could have driven up with you guys, that mishap boils down to me being an idiot.  RTFM, in this case read the f-ing MAP, I went back and looked at it this morning.  Where I pulled over to wait for the last group was already North of the exit from 45, which is why I never saw anybody.

Later,
Wally

You nerds need to come an actual event.

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.

A few tidbits from the day:

The drive to the track was very good, the roads were exceptionally smooth and freshly paved with minimal traffic and the pack stayed together without too much difficulty.

This is what it looks, feels, and sounds like when @i_love_cars is behind you.

I freaking love your car

This happened because I was in a 335i.

Clear skies, perfect weather, and the view from the lunch spot. The Gearbox Melt could have been better but I had to give it a try.

His an hers GT3 Cup Porsches

We wandered through the paddock criticizing everyones cars and then some of us went to the Sargento bridge to get a better view. RA is a much more beautiful place than video games make it out to be haha!

Here is a google drive map file that you can open in google maps since the link in the original post sometimes opens up with the fastest route on certain phones/browsers.
