Great pics, Pete! Serious hardware there--Magnus Racing, MB AMG GT car. Were they there setting up for testing the next day?

Love the Carmine Red in those action shots--so rich, almost burgundy.

Thank you. The teams were testing for the Pirelli World Challenge. It was mostly a waste of time due to the super low temps at the track. It was 21 degrees F Friday morning!

Woot woot! Great shot Pete!

Sunday was definitely my better day of running after becoming more comfortable with the car. It was nice seeing everyone and meeting some new faces. I'm looking forward to another great season.

Good times! It was good meeting you. I usually run with Niagara and NY Metro at the Glen. Hope to see you there.

It was fun to meet with you guys and run with you. It was cool to see and run with the Club Sport. Beautiful and fast - running 2:02-03s.

Thanks for the photos! I didn't see your post until today, but I was in the Guards Red #813 GT4.

Yes, last two sessions Saturday and Sunday, but left early Sunday and missed the last session. Started in Blue, but got "promoted." White was more fun, but I am not used to having people behind me. In last session I was trying to stave off a 'vette (mistake on my part for even thinking in that mode) and went too fast into the esses and drove off into the grass after the back-end got squirrelly following the second turn (the right-hander). Several cars went off there that weekend I believe. Luckily I didn't try to save it and go left. It was actually very funny - I drove next to the track bouncing around in the grass and stopped exactly in front of the flag station at the top of the hill like I was going through the drive-through at McDonald's!

Well... it wasn't funny for me. We both could have died! You need to watch for a signal from the corner workers before re-entering the track. I almost ***-ended you! Please be more careful next time!

Darn, really sorry about that, but I was talking with the corner worker and he told me to go ahead. Not sure why he didn't see you but I didn't either! Just watched the video - looks scary. I do recall passing you and then you passing me...I could have/should have thought to think of who might be behind and coming up in addition to looking at the corner worker for guidance.

I had similar thing happen on the Grand course where it merges back into the Full course. Someone blew the "bitch" and drove straight across to rejoin the track. In that case though, I saw the corner working yelling at him and shaking his arms to wait.
