they will sweep and or blow it pretty completely after the races are over.
Probably won't be as much rubber as you think.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Those 935's sure are cool.

I wandered the paddock yesterday and watched from turn 2 today.

I go to that track pretty regularly.

Finished up this evening.

Put the track tires back on, checked a few things and went and got fuel.

Excited...

That was by far the BEST track day I've ever attended.

Perfect day for me.

Someday I'll post video ( Andy? )

Dan is a fantastic intructor. Huge help for me today.
I think he likes the 710's, too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Trekkor, Greg, it was great to get to go out with both of you today...
Greg, thank you for having the faith in my driving to allow me to drive you car today...It is very nice. Hope you are able to dial out a little more of the oversteer.
Dirt tracking is fun but not the fast way around unless we are doing a Rallye. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Trekkor, your car handles great....I was impressed....I just wonder how much is attributable to the tires and 7" wheels?

I was glad to be able to help both of you in several spots...like 2, 4 and especially 6.

Great day, great folks....just be glad you weren't driving a GT3 today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I will be interested in seeing the videos Trekkor.

Can you say "pancake"?

Lost control around 8b and did a tank slapper....wiggle left then lifted, no steering correction....wiggle right and straight off into the outside wall at 8.
45degree hit with left front into 8K pound K wall....every thing infront of the bulkhead on the left is gone suspension, trunk floor, bumper, lights, oil and water radiators. Entire left side is bent...bad.
Will make a great parts car....

Really bad part he had owned the car for only 1 month...didn't even have plates of registration yet...just the new car sticker in the front windshield.

Both driver and instructor were OK Walked away...both airbags deployed...
The new cars really are tanks....the passenger compartment was completely intact.

Hi Greg, Haven't seen you for awhile.
Hopefully I'll see you out at Buttonwillow at the end of the month with Per & the gang, if I can get my stuff together and un-break my car by then.
Glad you guys had fun today.

In reviewing my video, I had a 2:06.

This was quite an improvment from my 2:13, last time.

Trekkor, Dan and Greg,
What a GREAT time yesterday with you all. Greg and Tricia nice pitting with you guys and being on track with your beautiful LeMans car. Trekkor hey really fun following you and Dan thru the correct line...Dan you could have been a circle track guy the way you drifted my car thru turn 11 ! Nice catch several times...Thanks for showing me the line. By the afternoon I was feeling the track come to me. So next time out we gotta get under 2 min !

Here is a pic of me driving Greg W's car in the red (instructor) group.
Greg riding along...grabbing anything he can to hold on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Car was a little loose in the rear in this session so we did do some "dirt tracking" at 4, 6 and 11. Nothing a little adjustment of the shocks and/or front sway bar couldn't fix.
I just adjusted the lines abit and ran fine.
It was fun though seeing Greg give me the thumbs up several times as I had it in opposite lock coming of several corners.
He will probably never ride with me again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Dan,

No it was REALLY FUN doing the ride along...any time at any track. Once I get my driving suit back from the cleaners we'll go again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)
