QUOTE(ZZZZZ @ Jul 30 2006, 07:13 PM)  I keep hearing of more and more screw ups on these runs....I now either avoid them or play "tail end charlie"..... I am worried that one day someone gets seriously hurt and turns around and sues the "organizer"..... Yep. Someone seems to ball it up every third run or so, and Ortega is particularly trecherous, with changing conditions and lots of reaallly tight off camber turns. I've done them in the past (and some Ducati club runs, too), and *every single time* the testosterone is flowing. On unfamiliar roads with unfamiliar conditions, it's way too often a recipe for disaster. My first Ducati run was also my last. They ball it up about every third run, too. My wife now thinks I can tell the future. When I saw the run being posted late last week, I told her "Watch, someone on sunday will post how they crashed their car." Bummer it was a -6. As a low mile factory car, it looks repairable, though. |

Saw the highlights on Dave Despain's show, what a bunch of cr_p Glad to hear the driver's ok, the car doesn't look too bad compared to the one that Andy and team fixed a few weeks ago in San Fransisco. |

QUOTE I keep hearing of more and more screw ups on these runs....I now either avoid them or play "tail end charlie"..... That's why I don't participate in those types of events. I'll stick to Track Events thank you very much. I am very glad to hear that everyone is physically not hurt or dead. Which guy in the pic is the "driver"? |
