A couple of guys brought out their weekend toys - a pair of Panoz GTS cars built from the factory specifically for the race track.  They've got a Ford Motorsports 5.8 liter V8 with 385 hp on tap, and weigh only 300 lbs more than most stock Saturns.  Wow.
  
  
Honda S2000s sure have a beautiful sound to them when they're wound out to around 9000 RPMs.

Bill H had a coolant hose come loose on his ITA-spec SL2 and had to be towed back to the paddock.  The car sure looked fast behind Dave V's truck as we made those race car noises...

After a long day at the track, we enjoyed a fine evening meal at one of South Haven's nice restaraunts.

We've stayed at the Guest House Inn in South Haven MI at least ten times over the past few years, and this was the first time anyone took the time to enjoy the pool & hot tub.   Bill H, Dave, and Jane mixed up some Margaritas and had some fun in the water.

  

  
Except for a few minor vehicle problems, most of the drivers had an enjoyable time and yet another great experience out on the track.  Interested in seeing more photos from this event?  Check out these at SpeedTrial's website.
