Sorry I missed it ... I am still on the fence for Chin...would be my first with them...still a few spots open.

Secret to the quiet hour is watch for the guy with the dB meter squatting by fence. Usually at start/finish line. Once you find him and coast by...the rest of the track you can go pretty fast since so many cars get black flagged.

That Quiet Hour stuff was nonsense. In the first lap I got Blackflagged, next lap Grady got Blackflagged.

I was so focused on following Grady I had no idea the 996 was fishtailing around so close behind me.

Kinda funny when we all break out of 7 into the white Vette and go 3 wide.

Sly and I had a wonderful time at our first Road Atlanta adventure. Of course, PBOC SuperSolo is da bomb! Unrestricted, unlimited, no pointy stuff - fantastic. And Grady with Momma Page and Papa Bear hanging with them between sessions, having BBQ and chicken salad, such gracious and wonderful people. Great to see Jenks and congrat on 1:35 person best, and when you bailed on the last session I was out there all alone. It is not good when I am alone - I try new stuff and invariably find some grass. And grass I found coming down the hill before the main straight. Yikes. Made that the last lap and took it home in one piece.
Wonderful track, best run rules, great peeps.
Thanks everyone.

Jenks, saw you on the pit wall on main straight watching our last run. After mowing the lawn I noticed you had left already... I was laughing so hard and thinking "good, he didn't see that".

Thanks everyone.
+1 on all above, I missed it a lot.
It's no good for my mental health to read about the good times, even during the weekend I got pics, quotes, laptimes. very bad, my beer didn't even taste good and I was working my *** off :-(

You need onboard video, you wheeling yourself out of grass T12 would have made for a great incar video I bet :-)

At least this weekend is track days, I see light at the end of the tunnel..

That 6gt3 driver has some pretty amazing car control skills. Very enjoyable to watch. Mike

Jenks had the fastest car at the track this weekend according to data. I saw something north of 400 MPH on the back straight when glancing at the data from his car. That is something I want to see on video.
