I won't be going to Stanton, but a bunch of guys from work and I are planning to head up to Ubly on the 25th. Hopefully the weather will cooperate. The supercharged 509 loves this cool fall air.

Good luck at Stanton.

can't blame you really. the 3 1/2 hours it takes me is no fun just for the trip out there but the last few years have been really great events and this one looks to be even better.

Well, Ubly was rained out on Saturday (hope the M8 event went on okay for you guys), but I went there on Sunday which turned out to be a real decent day. New personal best time and speed for me: 9.540 @ 144.8 mph. As cool as the track was, I was still getting some pretty good 60 ft. times. The track photographer was there and I'll be posting some "wheels up" pics in the near future.
