Nice. But u sure u want to hang the OEM Werner bottle (a whopping 14lbs) that high up against the cage? The weight dynamics is one thing, but I'm principally concerned about a weight of that magnitude sloshing right next to you in the event of an accident...

well you are right it is heavy, actually the car delivered to me from dealer with this setup and it is tightened very well. I am also not that long so my seating position is very close to the steering wheel. I don't have place for it as well on the passenger floor and it is a must to carry.

Was that a stock S65 AMG pulling on the Carrera GT?

Had this white Z06 filling my mirrors all weekend. Buddy of mine with a carbon copy of the MTI shop Z06 that runs 1:23's at Road Atlanta. Huge DF, big power, sequential. Funny thing about him is that if no one is in front of him he will do no better than a 1:30, but his red mist is worth 4 seconds. He likes fast in slow out, his car randomly cut off in turn 7 on the second lap do to an alternator power surge. I was on pace for a 1:25 and then blew it going too deep into 10.

Disappointing weekend that saw me on Saturday miss my lap record by less than 4 hundredths of the second on 15 HC A6's only to put stickers on and go slower. My JIC's have finally given up, leaking heavily from right front (and slightly on every other corner) effectively reducing compression and nearly sending me off track on the first lap.

Regardless, most fun I have had in a while.

I almost had to go two feet in. Had to lift on the second lap for a split second too. The tires had quite a few HC's on them and that front right shock leaking and getting softer I think were the culprits as I have never broken loose there before, even flat. I had to dial it back some after that.
