Will be looking to schedule more David Murry Track days in the future.

DMTD are truly top class events!

Great event...will remain a permanent part of my calendar.

Vimeo seems to make it hard to link directly to the forum....unlike the YouTube vids from Izzone and others.

Yep...Hoosier R6s (labeled on the video). Did 15 HCs over the 2 days. This run was done on the 12th heat cycle. BTW, my suspension is far from stock.

Best,

I think I've attended all the DM track days at VIR over the last few years...and they just keep getting better. Nice job Mark (and David plus team) allowing the drivers to look after each other - no drama or fuss, and passing was drama free.

I always find it far better, safer and more enjoyable than the usual DE's with their prerequisite run group format. Keep up the good work! Just wish I could do Sebring with you guys.

I'm sure that Mosport has something to do with it, but I might have a new favorite track; I'll have to go back to confirm There is not a single corner that I don't like at RA.

Between the challenging track and the Chin format, it was another fantastic event.

Did a few 1:40" on BFG R1's in 245/285. I might need a bit more rubber.

Got home at 7 tonight and can't wait to go back.

Sat/Sun Mosport, Wed/Thurs VIR, Sat/Sun R Atlanta. Yeah, a pretty good week.

Great pictures Randy.

So, what's next?

Next one should be Sebring in January. Otherwise, Mid-O and Road America for sure.

Road Atlanta with Chin on 24, 25 Nov is pretty tempting... now that the address is programed in to the GPS. I need to show this track to Marc.

Love to hear more feedback on the R1's and your impressions of possibly needing more rubber.

Maybe the thread in the '6 GT3 forum is a better place for that info though?
