Was a perfect weather weekend, could of done without the pollen. Paying for it this morning.

Fun, fun, fun, . . .

Yeah, that dirt, in addition to my tires' handling characteristics in tempts below 70* had me a little uneasy in several corners. A few times I could feel my front wheels starting to plow forward through turns. Nothing too drastic, but enough to get my attention.

Lol. I think the dew it got on it sitting in the hotel parking lot overnight might have loosened up some of the dirt.

I just got done washing my car and man, I got several chips on my bumper and hood from the condition of the roads. Makes me regret not getting the clear bra on my car big time. But even in spite of that, I still had a great time and am ready for the next adventure. Car shows are great and all, but nothing beats get togethers like these.

I think on a trip like that at the minimum I would use some masking tape on the front of the car.... the chips and nicks can be a PITA to deal with after the fact
