I came over looking for you with ddog Sebring today

Of course you can have a ride, I need all the tips I can get to catch Peter......I cannot use the excuse "your car is better than mine"

Randy told me yesterday when we were at Sebring. I'm green! This worked out well for me as a set of his black CCW's immediately came up for sale and were immediately bought by me. Thanks for the great deal!

I missed "radio" in his mods list. Gotta have your priorities.

On one hand I'm very happy for him. On the other hand, I'm now moving from being the slow kid in the group to being relegated to being the really slow kid in the group

I was at the Porsche Tent on the inside of T17 eating dinner. I hung around waiting for an hour or so. Finally left the enclosed tent and walked over the bridge to the Porsche Platz tent looking for ddog, hung out there watching the race a little and then went across the street to the Porsche Bert Smith tent and hung out there for a few, drove the golf cart all over the place and watched the end of the race.

I didn't know there were two Porsche tents. I think that's where the breakdown was. We went directly to the Platz tent thinking that's where you were at, assuming it was the only Porsche tent.

Next year we need to coordinate for sure, before we get there

No excuses from here on out. I was out looking at the tread on those tires this morning... Or the lack thereof I'm literally going to have to pull over if there is event a hint of rain.

Been there done that on shaved RA1's on the way home from Sebring.

You should love the shaved RA1's....but...you gotta trust the grip, once you do it's like hell yeah! It's you introduction to slicks I was told once.

Cell Phone minutes and text messages cost money, and cut into my tire budget
