Snowshoe Hillclimb

i heard pussy rj didn't go to the hillclimb.

Yeah you heard right. Jess and I are the only MM representation there. You all fold!

First day report: Miscommunications between organizers and drivers, seriously f-ed up timing equipment, searing heat and pouring rain. They only got in ~3 runs in per car during the 8 hours we were there (after promising "more runs than you'll know what to do with"). And there's only like 20 cars running... Hopefully tommorrow will go more smoothly.

But Jess and I were lauded in front of the entire crew as "experienced corner workers", and Jim Pantas knows we're from MM (he instructed me at VIR a couple years ago, and remembered the L) - so some good relationship building going on there. We were definitely the only folks who had ever even seen a corner station before - they put us at the end of a long straight right before a hairpin turn No wrecks, but some nice dorifto action by a DSM and one of the Legends cars... I'll have plenty of pics and some short videos to post when I get back home tommorrow night. By in large the drivers were taking it *very* easy today, at least from my perspective.

I'll post again tommorrow night with a full write-up. Gotta say I'm pretty disappointed to not see any other MM-ers out there, it's a gorgeous location and Budweiser was sponsoring the parties... Later folks.
