Long time lurker, but decided to say hey and give a little history.
57, work way too much and take little time to enjoy life. It was time for a lifestyle change, so I went to the SAAC National Convention @ IMS in 2018 and realized I needed to get back where I belonged.
A little backstory;
Former SCCA LOL Region ESP Champion, many many years back. Decided after a well earned divorce to get back to my true passion of road racing and time trials. My 1st attended event was the inaugural race for the ill-fated IMSA Mustang GTP @ Road America in 1983 where it placed 1st & 2nd in class. My gf at the time and I were treated to a ride with Ford Special Vehicle Operations boss Michael Kranefuss in a prototype Mustang SVO. Needless to say, I was hooked. I actually ordered one about 2 years later when I could finally afford one.
Last went to RA (Northwoods SAAC Event) in either `93, 94 or 95 ... its all a blur. Back then it was run as more of a time trial ... single laps from a rolling start in the pit lanes. Set 3rd fastest time of the day on my last lap in a 88 Saleen ... mostly stock engine, tweaked suspension, Conti Road race tires. Had the time of my life .... then I got married.
Fast forward 100 years, several Mustang's and 3 performance boats later, here I am to get after it again ... this time with a `18 PP2 but nothing of the caliber of
@steveespo. Met him and a handful of other participants at last July's Northwoods RA event as a spectator and can't wait to get back on the track this July for the 1st time in 25+ years.
