I have to thank my friends Juan, John and Peter, I received a early Birthday and Christmas present.

A SOLO DL and a Smarty Cam loaded.

Ran a proved 2:18.5 on old skinny hoosiers under 95F in Sebring, (Harry with external GPS). I'm going for the lead. 2:15 on Slicks is doable. Stock engine and stock transmission. No re-gear or big engine or cams.

Oh please do it so we can hear what Rad has to say.

Here's to hoping Clarke's friends are as generous

Cold weather is needed, but doable. Winterfest is the time to do, 48hs is also good, but a little warmer.

Sorry for the mile long replies.
I have to drive the truck all day and today we had a cannonbal like run at 85-100MPH (Unless traffic slowed us down, but our "Wake The Dead" horn took care of most of that) from Tremblant to NJMP with a bet against Clarke beating us with his faster route with dinner at stake. We were here at 6:30, it is now 8:30 and Clarke just arrived to help us drink Vodka; Too late for dinner today... At least I beat hime once.

On the track, a set of greasy MPSC's forced me stay smoooth and give lots point-bys.

Sebring, here we come.
What happens in Mt Tremblant stays in Mt Tremblant ;-)

Last year I beat him everywhere, this year it might be fifty-fifty, the teacher will be taught next year. Or the student has more *****, cheats on studying data all night and feeds teacher false info......

+1!! He gave me perfect first lap level how-to. Just what I needed for a productive first session. Excellent.

What? I did not say you can't mention I was falling over drunk yelling in a tiny nice restaurant with 5 tables that I was going to go FLATOUT of the top of my lungs 100X per hour... Finally it was a typical 2011 evenening of 2011. This year too much driving, not enough drinking.

Please keep crashing it. Pretty please.....

Cheater Harry POS. I bet you can enter you own times, why do you think we sponsor a real timing system, just keeping you honest. Clarke, you reading this..

+1 for Winterfest 48 is more a drinking event.

Randy,

I sense the force is now with you - Peter was showing weakness at Tremblant - that video of you chasing Clarke has me a believer.

I plan on collecting the $10 at Sebring this winter.

Well Dave could be me (the quiet unassuming guy in the red GT3 that was hanging with Peter and getting lapped by Sly) ...

I'm not even in the same league as the Mancation crowd - but I could keep the cooler full.

Dave, Peter's friend in a red 997 GT3 from Ottawa. Yeah, acadian_dad

Yeah, Peter (1Gunner) sent me a picture of his hub today with 3 of the 5 studs broken off at the base. First thing I thought of was that he was 2 broken studs away from a center-lock-wheel-separation-like event...
