List Track Day, the mandatory slanderous post

[mkii at nycap.rr.com (Josh20V)]

ROFL!!!

A very accurate and enlightening take on the weekends activates. :D

I think next time we need to make sure Sara gets to drive on the track
though. The lack of being able to abuse her car resulted in her having
"issues" driving with the general public.


Thank you again Cathy, it was a blast!!
