Big Congrats to the driver, car owner, & the tech who works on the car. A perfect combo for victory.

I agree! I am sure Pete would be agreeable to it as long as I put my GTS2 car as collateral! I have wanted to do some PCA races but this year has been about work travel getting on the way of play and I have barely even done NASA stuff.

Nonetheless, seems like you guys in PCA are doing all sorts of fun stuff, like the support races, so I am going to whip out that PCA rulebook and go over it this weekend....

Cheers!

After looking at videos, both Scott and I no know beyond reasonable doubt , that we left soooo much on the track. But being rookies at VIR is a bit to blame. In my case I was also focused on Shop JV as my main objective and did not want to push taking more risks than required being that I was just the "driver" and there are a few areas in VIR that are unforgiving albeit highly rewarding. All in all, I think we'll be able to lower those lap times next year.

I uploaded a lot of pictures from the event to my CarDomain Profile: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3018343, and at StreetFire: http://www.streetfire.net/profile/pmcrespo.htm.

They are not the best quality but some of them are ok. Once I get the pics from F&S, I'll post as well. Those should be nice.

Yup.... Fastest in Black Group by Sunday.... XM Radio and Air Conditioning blasting all the way! Not that the torrential rain had to do anything with it BUT; never in a million years I would have thought that I would get a fastest of weekend impromptu award after showing up in a Rental Hyundai at VIR for a PCA event... The faces at the Tech station in the morning were worth a million bucks! But I showed up with my own Lug-nut deep socket to help out!
