I'm not sure what to make of that statement. I have seen a lot of non-Lotus-related cars at LOGs. In 2018 someone brought a Ferrari with phony Lotus badging. I didn't make it to the LOG in SLC. I did arrive early for the one in Bee Cave TX this year. I saw a C8 in the ramp and wondered if it was there for LOG. I don't know that it was.

... for my 1970 Lotus 65 Europa

Will check that out. I bought adjustable rear lower control arms from Ray ages ago.

that one must be pretty new.

There is a speedier autocross picture.

One of these cars is not like the other cars. That one's my 74PHIL. There was a spirited drive to the Circuit Of The Americas (The track that is even more egotistical than the Dallas Cowboys) to some parade laps. Here is a trail-cam video of part of that drive. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1fSd7vl83SRQHMfij0Dp3MkoOln_eOCQG Look for and click on LCR Trail Cam. If you are impatient, skip to about the 50-second mark.

The results say the fast Caterham is a 420R.

Mind? Heck, no! Thanks! Everyplace I go online seems to do things differently and I am not a computer professional. I only have a computer to play with cars; and more-recently, genealogy.

I have started posting pix from the Monday track day at LOG. Sorry, no Sevens were running in the event, but a lot of Lotus cars and some others. https://www.flickr.com/photos/pethier/albums/72177720320968006/ My cellphone stuff is at https://flickr.com/photos/pethier/albums/72177720320569205/ I am no longer a working professional.

The number of pixels will vary because even though Flickr labels them as "Original" they have been cropped to look good on a computer screen. If you have trouble figuring out how to download the full-rez photos, please let me know.

BMW carried it off well a few times.

I'm packing up. 74PHIL is in the basement here. when I get things organized in the hotel room where I have been for 7 nights, I will put me and my jump-box (I use it for my trailer winch) in 74PHIL for the trip around the big block to Dick's Sporting goods. The hotel has a standing agreement with Dick's for guest trailers; this was not a special deal just for us. its a short walk on Market Street to or from the hotel to Dick's. It is a longesh drive to Dick's, and a short drive back to the hotel. The hotel exit from the basement ramp ("ramp" is Twin-Cities-jargon for "parking structure", not just popular slang; it is used in signs displayed by outfits that own such structures) dumps you onto the divided Bee Cave Parkway so you can't get onto Market Street. Load 74PHIL into its mobile garage, drive the rig to the hotel forecourt, stuff all this impedimenta into the F-150, and head north. I-35 the whole way this time: no reason to go to Neosho MO. I'll take a first crack at the Harris HIll real-camera photos and maybe some of my cell-phone stuff from the rest of the LOG wherever I feel like stopping tonight.

I checked my notes. Fastest Seven was a Caterham 420R. There were 32 entrants. I believe I was 13th OA. I'l post the whole thing when I get it discombuberated from the PDF.

That was a parade. If you wanted to let it all hang out, you had to pay considerably more to run the track day in progress. I am told that 9 conventioneers entered the that event, which may have been available both Saturday and Sunday. Both the parade and the track events were run by "CHIN" which does this sort of thing at several tracks. LOG had our own "unofficial" track day at Harris Hills, a membership track in San Marcos TX. Today (Monday). I shot a LOT of photos, which I will paw through soon. No Sevens. There were three Sevens at the Saturday autocross. Yeah, I came in third. First, and damn close to FTD was a 2021 model with Duratec power and Avon tires. Next was a Superperformance with IDK what engine. It had Yoko 052 tires, but larger than my 185-50-15 Yokos. I was a lot closer to that one.

IMG_6781 Waddaya mean this isn’t really a parking space?

Half of that has been accomplished.

Awards happen to those who show up

Oh, yeah.

Guess which one is on the way to LOG. IMG_6730 Is this non-Lotus here for LOG? I made it to LOG Yeah, that's my truck. My trailer is in the designated off-site location. Using their clock to power my clock
