John is seriously fast around the track at RA, but I was glad the day was over and we both did 2:295. But john was was faster, I was luckier. one day I will dig up my entry into the kink.. John backed off at least once thinking there was going to be a big cleanup when he was behind me.

I won't let you go to RA. It does not tolerate 45 degree slip angles

I met the boys at RA. Peter and Randy are awesome, great guys, very informative and helpful. They saved us by sharing some spare parts with us to fix a front brake.

Everything they say about driving, having fun, and oh ya beer, is all true.

You guys be safe.

BTW, if interested I can PM you what is wrong with my car. It may be of interest to ya.

Enjoy it! Hope the weather holds for you. Do you know if it is the Pro course or the club course? The difference is whether or not you have to go into a Kink/bus stop before the Keyhole?

Randy, Peter.. They call MidOh the drivers track for a reason.. No long straights for HP cars although you should still see 150 at 1 point. One of my favorite tracks, I hope you guys aren't too spent by the time you get there...

Peter: On your way back through ATL at the end of your mancation stop in at my house for some beers.. I want to sign the car...

Pretty sure NASA is running Pro configuration this weekend (shame cause Club is much better in my opinion), but I understand it gives another passing zone for their racing series. Really liked it when they ran club one day and pro the other last season, but I don't believe that's the case this year.

Hmmm, a winter mancation. Dec - Feb is no time for tracking in these parts. And I would love to run Barber in my own car...hmmm

Florida might be interesting

Haha that is funny. I have a different opinion on MO. I love the Pro course and hate the Club course. I feel the Pro course has a better flow to it when you come out turn 1 and it makes for a very interesting dynamic entering the Keyhole. Lots of speed to bleed off in a very short period and you get to carry lots of speed into the Keyhole. The Club course creates more movement on the car coming out of T1 which in turn can cause more spins with a car as fast as the GT3. Just my thoughts though.

Just to add some fuel to it what do you like better about the Club course?
