Lineup at the casino. Since the IRS probably monitors this board I will not name the big winner. I had no idea you could win that much on a nickle machine......very good!!

And Bill is quite the blackjack player.

Krinkov.....well he doesn't need the money, they have to call him back to the table to get his winnings.

Well for someone who doesn't even know what day it was I'm not surprised.

Possibly because of the pics I post you thought fowlman was some 22 year old stud. I am the Mick Jagger of the poultry world so I too have
groupies. LOL Strange but true, I can't explain it either, but if you go back to the Z babes you will see postings of chicks with the car I was driving today.

That was one hell of a ride on the twisties. I have never had a back wheel come off the ground during a turn with the Z before. Those esses coming down that last hill were awesome and being behind Anna on that leg really impressed me. She is the She Devil of corner carving for sure. Fearless!!! hardly ever used her brakes. Great job Anna!

Usually I don't like going down hill, but the turns afforded a chance to actually set up a rhythem.

I tried taking pics while I was driving, but that didn't work out...sorry.

On the first leg when I was following krinkov my radar detect came lose on one of the turns and almost hit me. Lots of G's.

Thanks for putting this together folks it was a good day of driving and a great day with a bunch of very nice people.

Awesome guys... I got home and had a total nap attack. Now that I'm more coherent, here's my contribution to the pics:



The first real obsticle of the day:


I think fowlman01 thought we were gonna scratch his Z!


Don't we look like a buncha lil RC Cars?


Me, representing the Clear Corner Crew!


Look guys, if you squint REAL hard, you can see Anna peeking over the wheel!


Best pic of the day! I picked up a "hitchiker" on my windshield at a stoplight, and it kinda looks like its going to eat zwindsor's car!


Left to Right - fowlman01, Anna, zwindsor, 4myZ350, neur0sis, krinkov

Thanks for getting this together Bill and Jeremy... it was awesome meeting the rest of you as well! Lets do this again soon!

Oh, and if any of you want to see the kind of roads we were on... my friend Dominique did an awesome job of taking some "in car" pics ... even with me tossing her around in the corners!

Had a great time yesterday. Meeting new people and now knowing who we talk to all the time.

Great pics Dominique & Dan! You too Walt. Thanks for posting.

Thanks J. for helping with the mapping and being the 'hare' for the group.

Everyone did great on the drive. We didn't have to keep Anna in the middle after all. We couldn't have lost her if we tried...nice driving .

Yes we did have a lucky group at the casino

Got to do this again before the end of the summer .

Here's one of my offerings.

Hey everyone.. I had a great time and am glad I went and met you all. Haha.. ok, I had a few close calls on the road but other than that, tons of fun! I had a terrible time with traction... no LSD in my car Oh well!

Overall, it was a blast and I can't wait until we can all get together again and do another cruise or anything else.

For some reason your post reminded me of that tree blocking the road. That was kind of thrilling, sure glad I didn't end up in your trunk! I was very happy with my Pilot Sports, that was the first real workout I have given them so far.

Anna I forgot that the base model doesn't have LSD, that made you driving even that more impressive.

I'll be over on Wren Drive, off of San Sebastian. I don't mind living close to the fowlman... as long as he can bring over some of those hotties he always has pics of...

I'm sure my other two bachelor roomies wouldn't mind a little groupie action! lol

Hey man! You passed on that last opportunity and it ended up with four (4) women for the photo shoot instead of the two my friend said she was bringing.


We might do it again though. I wasn't all that happy with the pics since I had a new camera and the light was kind of wierd at 4 PM.

Yesterday was a good day at fowlmans place. I had a poultry tour.


I'm not familiar with Wren Dr. Is that on the south or north side of 12?

I just noticed your comment about me being afraid of getting my car scratched. I was apart because I can't back up for $hit and didn't want to hit Anna's car.. I can go like hell forward though.

You sure can go like hell forward... I thought you were being towed by Jeremy at some points... you were on his lines like you were in his trunk!

Yes, I get carried away some times. I haven't just done drag racing all my life.

I guess that is why I couldn't see the flames coming out of jeremy's exhaust. I noticed my grill has some burn marks on it though.
