Many of you know the trials and tribulations we've had with our race car Papa Smurf. And recently I've had a bunch of people asking how things are going....soo....
Last weekend, we were had a DE at Carolina Motorsports Park. Only got about 2 1/2 out of the 4 sessions in on Saturday (short session due to timing, red flagged session due to accident/fire on the track) and it snowed Sunday, so that was a wash (white?) out. But...in those limited sessions, the car ran PERFECT! Really freakin' fast...actually a bit faster than I'm used to/comfortable with at the moment. Need much more seat time to get comfortable and exploit what the car can do. But hey..thats fun right?? I was easily the fastest car on track that weekend... Here are a few pictures from the weekend. Next up: PCA Club Race at Road Atlanta!! |

So next weekend is the PCA race at Road Atlanta. Last weekend I put Papa up on the lift, checked it all out, ran a power line to a dash switch for the Smartycam, cleaned it... not much else to do. Two weeks before a race and it's all ready....
This is weird.... |

Yeah Bob...that IS how it is supposed to be - someday, I'll hopefully experience it myself! I'll be running this weekend laying down some rubber for you - just drive the 914 line.
