It was fun, as usual.
I have some pictures (they aren't all that exciting), which I will post later.
Great meeting a few new guys, and seeing the "veterans". I'm really glad I went and took part. Its great to see that alot of gusy are really passionate about the cars, and improving them. I got to ride in alot of cars this year. Scott's TC, Tom's GM, John's CV, the 5.0 Aero, Scott's Mk 7 (which I've ridden in before).
It was the first time I've been in WalMart at 1:00 in the morning...
I made it there in 4 hrs 5 minutes (little bit of traffic, compensated for with a few 100+ mph runs), and made the trip home in 3 hrs 45 mins ( a new record).
Unfortuinately I got some bad news on the way home. I had my phone off while I was there, because the battery dies quickly with all the signal searching. When I turned it on after I left, there was a voicemail from my Mom. She said to call because my father was in the hospital. Saturday they went out to eat, and when he came home he was feeling bad. Ending up throwing up a few times, and then throwing up a significant quantity of blood.
He has a high threshold for pain, but my Mom ended up racing him to the hospital. Apparently he was on the floor of the ER wreathing in pain. He was admitted and spent Sat. night there. They pumped some more blood out, and think he tore something in his stomach. A scan only showed that he has a small kidney stone (unrelated). They said his heartbeat was irregular, so they wanted to monitor him before doing an Endoscopy (sp?).
They did the test this morning and said he has an ulcer, and hypertension (high blood pressure). He's hoping to come home today, but I guess they are still going to watch him. I'll probably go and see him this afternoon again.
But anyway, I raced home, after I called my Mom. Many 100+ mph jaunts, and I went straight to the hospital. He seemed fine, and we chatted a bit... he was telling the nurse how to do his job, so I know he has to be feeling ok.
It was kind of a crappy ending to a good weekend.
But SF10 was a fun one, and I hope to make it next year as well!
