The site says 97 350z's confirmed. That's only 97 350z's that ate at Red Robin. I didn't sign in. Also, there were a good 30 G35 C's and S's. I would say another 20 other makes and model cars. Just a huge meet..

Yea, no oil leaking or anything but my passenger tire is gone. The inside sidewall got slashed, found it flat this morning.

He didn't have radar, just saw the Zizzle take off. Luckily he was cool and not a CHP.. I don't think a CHP would have let me off the hook so easily.

Ted was pretty busy at the meet. Lots of people asking questions. I didn't have a chance to chat with him about the chip.
Did you see his wheels??

I think that road to Comptech was a good run, and we should do that after Glen n Marlene's on our way home more often It doesn't beat the hard-core twisties that are after Glenn n Marlenes, but it does give us a nice run to digest our food

It doesn't beat the hard-core twisties that are after Glenn n Marlenes, but it does give us a nice run to digest our food But it is probably more traveled than the other twisties and hence, better patrolled 
. None the less, it should be added to our twisties list.

I think one of these days, we need to go hit the HardCore twisties, and then come back to Glenn n Marlene's for lunch. We and drive straight to the twisites to save time
