Totally love this thread guys - videos were great - Francois glad you made to VIR - love it there. I need more HP. I'm seriously thinking of a 3.9 safety upgrade.

Clarke & Sly - you guys will understand - I totally melted all the rear pucks at WG by letting the rears run a little too low - think it was 4 years of abuse but they were all turning to dust.


Wish I could have been there

it's the driver, not the car.....

great photo though - randy, your friend has a great eye for composition.

Sure was...it ran a bit more than it did in April, just happened to be on track when he was and caught it on video.

You were missed...next time. Eric has his turbo dialled in now, it's fast.

Default 4 off at Oak Tree



right of passage at VIR really. Kept increasing the speed going into Oak Tree on successive laps as felt I was leaving time on the track there. Eventually ran out of track, although it was a poor entry so my own fault.

Thanks Peter, and how come you weren't there on Thursday? Or did I just miss you? I thought you were coming back with a tire.

Paul, don't wish, make a hard plan for next year. VIR combined with RA is def worth the trip down.

PS did you leave a Clash at The Glen jacket in Marc's RV? We found one and are looking for the owner. Otherwise I will keep it

FFaust,

No tires available and while loading the car Wed I found my PS pump was leaking. So off to home to work on car. Will definently run with Murray again as it was a blast. Have fun at RA also a very fun and tricky track.

Impressive

Great heel/toe. Smooth and very progressive on the control inputs. Deliberate and precise shifts. Personally I'm a fan locking in at 9&3 with the hands but considering her driving partner, I suppose it's great at least both hands are on the wheel

Well done Sly!
