Mr Drums is more shady than politicians during campaign season

It wasn't cool down for me, it was warm up. And Mike knows that. Shady shady shady I was BS'ing with Wes (Defense Witness 1) in the pits and waited till the last 5 mins of the red season to go out as it looked like it had dried up some. I had literally just pulled out on the track for my first session of the day. Which by the way, was a really bad idea... Going out into the red group to warm up after they've been running hot for 20 minutes made my arm exhausted from all the pointing. But if it helps with Mike's low self esteem to pass me on my warm up, then it was worth it. It's cheaper than a therapist

Weak sauce Mike.... Weak sauce! Although I was smart enough to go right back out in the blue group after the red session ended to not waste a heat cycle.

Anyway, here's the one red session I got to run this weekend. Note Sebastian and the kid in the challenge car completely destroying me. Whenever I see cars coming up this fast I lift like crazy and let them get the hell out of the way. At least they're kind enough to not park on my bumper like a certain bully I know (cough) Randy (cough)

Defense Exhibit A


I did have a couple weird braking experiences out there where I had a hard pedal but the car didn't slow immediately. Not sure if it was ice mode or tire rotation. Which I've been really struggling with as my shop mounted the tires wet and they're literally spinning on the rim under heavy braking now. They told me it would dry after a session and they would hold in place. Not even close. They spin every single time. I've given up even bothering to balance a hoosier as 30 seconds in they go completely out and rattle the car like crazy. Then again, I've given up on hoosiers in general as its the worst value on the planet when it comes to DE tires.

Is that Rodolpho's car?

Burke always seems to be on a cool down lap or just getting out of teh pits......no wonder he puts 20 heat cycles a day on Hoosiers

We really do like you Burke but since the Greek wasn't there who else are they going to pick on.

Wes, where's the video from the Camo car? As much as I hate to do it, I've gotta give you credit for going out there in the wet on slicks in that thing.
