We just got back from the race today (Sunday) and saw an ardent red Elise with Utah plates, and a canyon/chili? red Exige S with Wisconsin plates and a FVMC frame. Do these cars belong to anyone here?

I was there all weekend with my '06 Sport Elise. Had friends along with a '06 Exige and a S1 Elise Sport 190.

My son and I took two cars to R.A. this weekend, our 2005 BRP Elise and our 1991 supercharged Miata that we wanted to sell. we parked them together near Gate 4 and were immediately surrounded by people asking questions about each car.

Within about an hour a guy called and asked for a test drive in the Miata (which is a truly exceptional customized car). After just five minutes of driving he said, "I think I'll buy your Miata at your asking price, but I have just one request to seal the deal... Will you take my girlfriend for a ride in your Lotus?"

I lost a great car but I made a new friend. It was a wonderful day at RoadAmerica.

Not so good for me. I got there Friday just in time for the rain.

aw, das.....i wish i knew you would be up there i would have loved to meet up...

It was kind of a spur of the moment decision to go as I still don't have my license back yet. I thought there would be a good chance of running into you in town while checking out the cars but the pouring rain nixed that. I basically drove 3 hours taking the scenic route up, drove through town, then blasted home down 57 and 94 with the aid of other fellow lead foots providing cover.

There's a good chance I'll go up for one or more of the events left this year.
