Congrats. to everyone.
Brian sorry to have missed you on Sunday. Just as you pulled up in the M3 I was shooting some video. Afterwards I headed up to turn 2 to get some more shots.
It was great to see Mark A. slice through the pack of cars like a surgeon removing a spleen.
I really enjoyed watching the different cars get "creative" in following the line at turn 11.
"Line?? we don't need no stinking line"
It was cool seeing Sean come into 11 and get pushed out then recover and just light up the tires coming out of 11. Tire smoke everywhere... He didn't get pushed after that.

Hey, Brian!

Did your video system in the car work? of course, the go pro failed again just as I was turning it on. I dont know what is wrong with those darn things. I had some great spin outs and contact in my rear view mirror, too bad we werent able to catch them on video!

Great shot of a very clean Speed Yellow 911 and 1992 Ford Bronco.

Not sure I agree with the sentiment on the back of this track support trailer though the 928 was driven by a bunch of Dicks to be sure.

Too funny...Sean said that he saw TON's of blue smoke under heavy acceleration....so I was worried about the motor....then I figured out it was Sean doing a Bill Ball impression I did quite a few myself...its hard with that open diff!!!

I happened to be standing across the track from that point and saw the accident happen. Gotta say it was the driver's fault. He was really pressing through some slow cars coming up to a tight 180 turn in front of the Marshall's paddock. Felt sorry he got a ride in the ambulance but I don't think his injury was too serious. He got out pretty quick. Later on the drive home passed the flat bed hauling his car. Really flatnosed it and crispy too.

He did fracture a vertebrae in his neck due to the car hitting the wall...a wrap around seat + HANS would have helped...(like we run...the seat + hans cost 8.7x as much as the CAR)

In this pic I am frantically tapping the pegged temp gauge blinking red praying its an electrical issue...it wasn't
