Some great shots there, and two very nice cars. Your faith and confidence must be strong to hit the ring (or any track) without a helmet.

Yeah, I was about to say the same. Seriously mate, you should wear a helmet whenever you are at the ring. You never know when the worst might happen. Alywas better to be safe you know.

I wish I was there my friend

Due to circumstance my car is not ready and I would feel bad going again without a car.

Although I understand Atomic80 and you were there , which could have changed the scales in my mind.

Shame shame shame to miss this oppurtunity but I am sure we will meet some day.

The Ring is addictive so that will help too

Great pictures. Glad to see you got over to stretch her legs. Did you ship her over with a group? Iceland is not that close to Germany! Hope you had fun and did not get too imtimidated by the Ring, I know I did when I went last fall.

The M5 looks good... I was going to take more pics of it when I was there, but the birds had been unkind (...and we don't show pics of dirty M5's -ha)

I found a pic of me on the track, but I look like I was filling my pants
- (if you see any of me, let me know)

Nice to meet you, all the best...

Hey Blue Thunder, spoke to you Saturday night just before the big rain storm hit, back in the states now, wish I had spent more time at the ring, wish I couldve seen your cars run, amazing small world so many board members there.
