I'm sorry the meeting didn't work out - with your starting time of 3:30 PM I figured that noon would have been Ok. I apologize for the mis-communication.

Hopefully, next time you're in the area, I can get to meet you and the car.

Last night I was in Half Moon Bay.
Today I'm heading into the woods (2 days in Yosemite, 2 in Sequoia, and 2 in Death Valley) so I may not have access to post updates for nearly a week. |

Just FYI Terry,
Almost every Safeway store out there has a Starbucks inside (internet!)

Here are a couple pictures from Yosemite:
Half Dome and falls viewed from Glacier Point: Upper Yosemite Falls: They have the most inept road construction crews ever - they have actually removed the paved Highway 41 / Wawona Road and replaced it with a rutted dirt trail for around 10 miles, with other bad patches as well. |

I noticed something similar just south of Yellowstone when we were there last summer. Tear up the entire road, make it horrible and bumpy dirt road for 10+ miles while they rebuild it -- and traffic was only one-way in a couple sections (so flag crews...).

As you probably all know, I'm our own "Captain Slow". I mostly go to the Atom events to socialize. Some of the other guys take it a lot more seriously...
At Laguna Seca, one of the other Atom owners did a 1:33.something (we're waiting for the certified transponder figures). According to this article, the former production car record lap was held by a 2010 Viper ACR. Until Darin's Atom came along. According to info I have, the record bike times are: Superbike - Tommy Hayden 1:26.100 MotoGP - Dani Pedrosa 1:23.158 |
