If you missed the meeting, you missed a great one!

Glenn "Evil Tunes" brought a PS3 (Play Station 3) with Grand Tourismo 5 all loaded up and hooked it up to Taylors big plasma screen TV. We were able to race vintage split window busses!

Glen also retrofitted a GENUINE VW Bus steering wheel to the game controller!

We all did 2 laps. It was great. Definately something we could do again...Thanks Glenn

Here's Yucellat the custom "Bus" controls

To keep everything fair with the playing field there were no practice runs.

The Race was 2 laps in a '62 Volkswagen type 2(T1) 21 window SambaBus
w/rag top. In the Snow and a nasty hair pin turn.

The first lap was from a stand still to get used to driving the course. The second lap is the one that was counted and recorded. There was one Hiccup early on in which the brake was sticking and I had to keep my hand holding the brake up for the rest of the races.

Here are the Results

Place   Driver Name   Min/Sec/Ms
1   Yucell Boyer   01:00.48
2   Michelle Boyer   01:04.26
3   Shawn Macdonald   01:04.83
4   Rich Nardiello   01:09.91
5   Bill Weimar   01:10.12
6   Martin Blaskey   01:10.60
7   Jack Kessel   01:11.61
8   Marc Heick   01:14.41
9   Ramon Cvencas   01:15.23
10   Dan Cozzi   01:16.07
11   Jack Mcgrath   01:17.13
12   Chuck Milligan   01:18.72
13   Jay Seguinot   01:21.03
14   Joe Tierno   01:38.86

Marc Heick had A Record run of 00:59.41
This was his Second Go at the wheel because of a sticky Brake.

Congratulations Yucell on a first place finish clap2-* also Marc on a course record. clap2-*

Cheers
Glen

That was FUN!! It should definitely be on the menu again sometime. Thanks Glenn.

I knew Marc would set A Record, he drives like that all the time (*speeder

If you have ever followed Celly or M you know they both have a lead foot. *snoopy)

I want a rematch
