We were both in need of a break from the 2 weeks of cleanup up over at the shop. I was cleaning out 10 yrs worth of car crap and he was disposing of things his dad left behind after he closed his business in 1980.
While we were there I took him to the place where my 2017 race memorial will reside, and I finally got a picture with my championship WG brick.

I don’t know how you managed to be a spectator Greg. Anytime I think of you and a racetrack it has always been you driving on one. That brick is nicely done. Will check it out the next time I’m there and get a pic with it too.

Attended the Buffalo Cars & Coffee meet yesterday. Figured I'd bring the kiddo along, so I drove the (now clean) Type-R. She has her own "method" to see all the cars, and half the time we spent looking at traffic driving by, but I think she had a good time until she got a little tired and cranky.
Saw my first FL5 in person and had a nice talk with the owner. He had owned an FK8 as well so it was nice to hear his impressions between the two.
No pictures because of being on munchkin duty, but there is one more meet in October I'm hoping to go to.

Me thinks she’d enjoy going to a race at Watkins Glen. The SCCA weekends should be free. Maybe when she’s older and can keep ear plugs in without pulling them out.

I keep forgetting to mention that the kiddo got her first ride in the S2000 last week. Nothing too crazy, just a short jaunt around the block, and I never even got past 2nd gear. I took it up to about 6000 rpm in 1st just so she could hear the engine. Her eyes got wide and she got an excited grin on her face. It’ll be fun to take her out for a proper drive when she gets older.
