I came in 2nd place.....Albert took 3rd. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Fritz had TTOD by 1.1 seconds (Albert was 2nd at that time). My run group had alread finished and I was sitting ~35.5 with Albert at a 36.6. The 3.4 Boxster was running 37's then hits a 36.5 and then a 34.9 in two of it's last three runs. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/owned.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) The morning was beautiful and no wind. The afternoon got windy and Fritz just wouldn't stick to the cold pavement, so I couldn't do any better than a 35.7 in the PM. The layout of the course looked like a horsepower track and had a 3rd gear section, but it really was more of a flowing turn type of track. I actually really enjoyed driving it. So Fritz is 2nd place in his first 2 AX's......I hope the Alameda course is a HP course where we can stretch our legs a little, along with some twisty stuff. I'm happy where I ended up considering we're still in the honeymoon stage with the car. One thing I noticed today was I couldn't get any heat into the front tires. They were stone cold after every run and did not grow in pressure at all. I even took really late turns in my first few runs of the afternoon to try to scrub some heat into them......no joy.... Ah...it was still a hoot....We'll try again later in the year for a TTOD. The car's capable....but the driver may be holding Fritz back...

Those damn newer cars just keep getting faster (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)

I remember about trying to get heat into Fritz's tires when it is cold out (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
When you and Fritz finally have a complete meeting of the minds, TTOD will be yours for the taking (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
