Default Hot Car on Car Action. GT3's on Track. High Desert Fun

Mighty fine weekend runnng with HOD at Reno-Fernley (N NV). Couple friends running their GT3's, they were supporded by BR Racing at the event.

Cool camera perspectives. Lot's of fun was had by all. Nothing like some tracking in the high desert!

More to follow in this thread, still uploading.

Grey GT3 is a Sharky 3.9, and a new blue GT3!

Yes you should go, it will be a blast and we expect a low car count as only the die hards look willing to make the 9 hour trip to Thunderhill.

I have never been and will need help to get up to speed quickly for my sat and sunday race's against the JR.

thanks for the vids, pete.
looks like your friend, jussi, may have hit a 9k over-rev in the first video.
it's only 200 rpm over the sharky rev limiter, so it should be all good.

Data shows 8778 at the front straight so it's probably just a SmartyCam rendering artifact.

Cool vids Pete. Is the first one using the new Rennline tow hook mount?

Hard to imagine a more perfect weekend. The weather was awesome and it was a good group of drivers, no issues at all. A shame RFR is closed for the season...ugh.

Jussi! Looking good, my friend.

Pete, I love how you gently kiss the curbs in that front bumper video. Sweet!

You guys are making me so jealous.

Mr. Jussi was in the zone and we were cat 'n mousing all day Sunday. I was calling him "Jesse Jr." (inside joke). It was good stuff and for sure what memories are made of.

We are all extremely fortunate to enjoy a track day every now and then. Truly good stuff. Missed you man!

Curb kissing, lol, Ummm!
