After the day was over on Sunday  a Mazda 6 used by the track school was  taken out by Tom (?), the track owner  a few hot laps. (I was watching him.) The engine sounded pretty ratty as he came down the front straight. He ran wide in T7, got it back on the pavement by T8, and the engine blew shortly thereafter. I wish I had my camera, as there were flames shooting out of the wheel well. He apparently drove it all the way down to T9, leaving oil and engine parts in his wake. On Monday, Steve and crew found parts and oil. He brought it up during the riders meeting, and Monte said the track was good. Steve disagreed, and they looked at the track again. Steve was right, and more of the track was coned off. We all (well, except Jason) sat out the morning sessions. It was raining , anyway. A whole bunch of us went to watch the carnage in the I-group. Fortunately none occurred.

There was no beacon set up, so we didn't get lap times. It cleared out in the afternoon and we got some good laps in. I got my confidence back and enjoyed mixing it up with the faster guys. I also didn't miss as many shifts this day. I sat out the last session and took pictures of my friends. It was rather overcast, and my lens is slow. I need a good one like Jan has.

Here are my pics and videos. I'm still capturing/editing, so check back.
