Sorry John, I missed this post. I'm looking forward to talk to you personally.

I'm driving up there on Friday afternoon with wifey. She wants to visit San Francisco. I'm picking up my car on Friday morning from Werks II in Burbank (Thanks for the tip on Galen, wonderful guy), they will re-align my car.

Thanks for the offer on the wheels/tires. I prefer not to be a hassle.

No hassle, I've got plenty of room.
Glad you finally made it over to Galen's shop.

Do you have data from that turn? That woudl tell you how much speed (G's) you should be carrying in every turn.... I would seriously question whomever flushed your system the first time. That should never happen. Are you using SRF?...

I went over 1 year, 20+ races on SRF in my Cup. The only reason I flushed it was I was feeling guilty. Never any fade at all and I never bled it. I burned up several sets of rotars and lots of pads but SRF never failed me. I don't understand why anybody would run anything else....

It also costs twice as much but worth every penny. I don't know the capacity of your GT3 but I'm sure it's online somewhere....

Bleep!. 60% chance of rain Saturday. That's a looong drive for only a 40% probability of running. Remember I'm on slicks....

New Forecast:

Zero Rain Saturday, partly cloudy

Lots of Rain Sunday

Slicks work well on dry conditions.

weather.com says 30% chance on Sat and 40% chance on Sun of "showers"
I guess if its getting to be wet on Sunday it would be fun to take the Cayenne out. I've been wanting to get that thing on the track.
