I had a great time and really enjoyed this track. Once you learn the line and turn-ins the flow is great and the ORP-esque blind corners and elevations changes are really fun!

Nice meeting both of you (Stephen/Basal)

I can't wait to go back!

Great meeting you as well! Love seeing more GT3s on the track, where they belong.

Totally agreed with you on learning the lines and turn-ins. The elevation changes are awesome.

Basal - it's ALL car and Bernie's setup for me! There's no way I can catch you in the straights. After following the GT2 for a bit, your car is certainly at least as quick from what I saw!

Targa Tim better be coming out for April 6th & 7th with PCA PNWR! I think April 6th/7th at the Ridge may be my last track day of the year and the last time I'll enjoy the 997.2 GT3 in a while.

Hi guys,

Sorry for not posting, but my Dad just passed away this Monday (6 hours after I came back from Ridge).

Thanks, but sorry to spoil the mood of the GT3 forum.

He had a terminal illness, full palliative care, passed peacefully at home with all loved ones at his bedside.

Again, sorry for interrupting a track thread.
