Not very much chatter on this subject, did everyone lose interest? Curious as to how many plan on attending this time.

I propose that we have lunch at CJ's for a pretzel burger  :drool: this time and we can still stop by the tiki bar on Soloman's if the Viper guys aren't afraid of getting sand on their tires.  :lol:

Depending on how many we have at Huntingtown, I'll call CJ's.  There is a guy on the SF that has a NA Coupe and a Lotus, he and his wife will bring both.

Perhaps you can buy your wife the pretzel burger now.

Sure.

Video: June 19th Kappa, Vipers and Lotus run in Calvert County to Solomon's Island.
This was taken by me holding a small portable camera to the windshield frame while driving.  For some reason the video doesn't start moving for 21 seconds while the music plays.  I would have had more but the battery died.

Depends on how hard I am using the intercooler.   Normally 189-205, heavy traffice up to 210, pushing it hard 210 or so.  I wasn't seeing anything over on the way to Ohio with the rain, but coming home playing in the mountains I saw 205-210 a couple of times

The first video was posted to Youtube and they muted the song.  Does this one work?
