The Spec boxster seemed much louder than your Cup car.

The Trans-Am Mustang was doing 116db.

Team attempted to mitigate.

Mitigation (stuffing metal into side exhaust, basically) caught on fire, and lit some grass on fire.

Cool car though!

So that is what caused the fire! I saw the fire as the red flag came out

Mooty, thanks for organizing the day for all of us. Great fun as usual.

New PB 3:09 on ONE hot lap in Karin's GT4 with R7s. Lol


Some video of me running with Dave. No data because I was an idiot and forgot to reprogram the solo for the GT3 obd2 instead of the GT4 can line. Matched PB of 3:07.

Lol. You can always count on me with my endless supply of cameras.

Yes. Fire. Unfortunately I wasn't in my car when I saw the fire, so no video. It was at T6 west. I was coaching my buddy when all of the sudden I see a fire and then the red flag came out.

Pretty sure a steel wool ball shot out and landed in brush.

Great track day as usual John. Got in a few good laps and got to see people enjoy the tri tip. My buddy accompanied me took some shots of everyone.
