Default Excellence Magazzine feature on Gavin's GT3RS!!

First time to start a thread here and it is to let you guys know that the November Excellence magazine has a nice write up on Gavin's GT3 RS at Sebring. Nice picks and Chris Harris' wit and perspective make it a great read.

BTW, does anyone understand how Excellence releases their magazines? Just got mine, and it is the Novemeber issue......

I was running at the DE weekend when Chris Harris and Gavin where together for this article and can't wait to read it. Hopefully Chris will come back and run with us again.

As for why you got November so soon? Just wait for Mr Excellence to poke his hear around the corner. Seems like distribution for smaller magazines can be dirt slow sometimes. And as a courtesy for the subscription paying customers they send off the magazines very early so that they don't arrive in the news stands before they arrive at home for the subscribers.

Funny.....a little birdie has told me when Chris will be running in the states again with Gavin

Chris Harris will be testing Ex-Tec suspension with Gavin November 26-27 at Road Atlanta (Chin Motorsports DE event)

On Saturday evening Chris is going to host a dinner (place to be determined) and have a track oriented discussion

I am serously considering going to Atlanta for this event

A bit tight on time and budget with PBOC in Daytona October 21-23 and November Chin Sebring 5+6 and Chin Sebring Dec 10+11...

Tempting allright.

I will reinforce that, from a driver's perspective Road Atlanta is one of America's best, funnest tracks.

absolutely one of the best. love the elevation, the long-G turns, and the trees surrounding the track. I just wish it was in SoCal!

Yes to all of the above. Cover date being way out ahead is dictated by the (antiquated) newsstand system. Longer thread on this in off-topic, and a topic I am tired of. Definitely agree it is ridiculous!
