slighly earlier turn in at T6 and T9, up hill blind.
T8, as 171mph dave would say, lift and just GUN IT, use all the track and a bit of dirt too. he beats me at T8 every time. but his car eats more dirt than mine hahaha

Hehe.. you know I did that just to provoke the bubble wrappers? I bet it brought some to tears... 
Now that I have had a chance to process and review some video, I actually ran a 2:06. The last two runs I did not video because my video system was acting up, but there is a good chance I had a 2:05 in there.
I think turn 7 and especially Turn 8 are my nemesis, and to a lesser degree turn 1, when I get those perfected, I will pick up some huge time. I feel super comfortable with all the rest.

There ya go; Galena was on the tips of my typing fingers.
My work brought me back to Bakersfield Ca in late 2008.
Me and my better half didn't really fall too much in love with the area. Only thing really we did like were a few of the Sushi places. Rickshaw's on Virginia just north of south McCarran where the Olive Garden is. If you ever get the chance try the place and ask for Ugen.
I might be making my way for a visit to Reno in about a week or so. We should try to get a Porsche of Reno Sushi run going. Only big problem is due to tax purposes I will be driving my DD; which is not a Porsche!

I see what you mean about earlier turn-in on 9 and 6. Good point, I will work on that.
Yes, 5th into turn 1, maybe 135mph at brake point? At :38 you can see my two shifts from 5th to 3rd into turn 2Mikuni at Northstar is the BEST sushi for 200 miles around. I no longer eat the delicious treat anywhere else. Well worth the 45 minute drive. I will go try Rickshaw though since you had a good experience with them.

Northstar eh? Never thought about going up to the lake for Sushi. I lived in Incline Village for a fee months with friends until we found a place down the hill.
For Rickshaw's I sure hope they still have Ugen. She was going to UNR and we have not been back in almost a year. Also hope they have a good staff there. I've seen the staff turnover there and they started getting crappy reviews. So I hope they knock it out of the park for when you go.
Finally Azara's Italian in Incline is well worth the trip. They have this almond breaded chicken which is worth the trip from here to there all by itself.

Pete my friend, you are living the dream!
Just FYI, my blue/gold car is on the way and there are 133 cars that are either on order or still in the system (doesn't count the ones already delivered), I had my PCNA buddy look up other blue ones (10), blue/gold (3) and blue/gold with standard brakes (1-mine). We have rare cars my friend! I think just yours, the one in France and mine have similar specs. My personal ugly favorite was a blue with red trim and silver wheels with ceramics, how many colors going on there?
Have fun killing bugs fast.

I am living the dream and very appreciative for the opportunity in life to do so.Wow, interesting info? Only 3 Blue/Gold? That is crazy!
Your offer was hugely appreciated, but as you can see, I have been a (dirty) track rat (and doing instead of watching...lol). Let's see how things shake out over the next few months and we may have other things to discuss
I have some surprises in the works to make my RS even more unique visually...and better performing. Stay tuned.
When is your delivery date? I know your "battlefield" days are over by choice, but still very interested to hear how you like this rascal on a track.
Good to hear from you my friend!
Roger, just saw your car, looks great! You are going to have a blast. Be sure to post some driving impressions.

I was out at Thunderhill with Pete last Thursday and can tell you that the Blue/Gold color combo really looks good.....even if I could only see it for a few minutes while lined up behind him for our run sessions since he took off on me after that!
Pete, looking forward to seeing what more you have in store for the car!

Hey Pete! Great fun meeting you and Adam at TH a few weeks back. Seems like yesterday for me, but you've had about a thousand track days since then...and getting fast very quick. Well done! I look forward to chasing you down...
