Our east coast tour and SVRA finale at Road Atlanta has come to an end. Our racing season for 2007 is over and we will be heading home tomorrow. This ends our roaming until next March.
Although not the biggest event of the year, Road Atlanta is always one of the best for me. I have been coming to R/A since 1970. Some of the best SCCA racing, via the Run-offs, took place at R/A in the early to mid 70's. This years Finale provided some very close racing, and of course, our annual banquet. The banquet was a huge success. All the awards, good food and good fun provided for a very pleasing evening.
We also had our final staff diner of the year which gave us a chance to reminisce and say goodbye to our good friends for another year. Both Linda and I are hoping to have some get-togethers in the off season.
The last act of our trip was to visit BMW heaven. This is a three and a half acre facility just south of the track (Strictly German) where all BMW's go to rest. They are lovingly and carefully dismantled and they give up their body parts so others may continue. This year it was new tailight assemblies for Ian's 318is.
Interesting and exciting news on the home front. Sarah called today and she and Jay have bought their first home, a townhouse in Bowmanville. They close on February 28, 2008. Seems like a longtime, the anticipation will probably drive them crazy.
CONGRATULATION KIDS!
See everybody at home Tuesday.
