We started in the back, no need to participate in the arms race
Had fun weaving thru traffic working on off line passing with Nick...at one point we went two wide from t-1 to t-7....it was real fun
I didn't drive in the morning, only afternoon, but mostly 2:21s weaving thru traffic
Nick is in Hoosier, he's a difficult rabbit mostly 2:21 with a few low 2:20s

Thanks, yes at least 3 cars hit the wall, one of them our good friend on these pages in his non P car. The other a P car and a race car that hit coolant and spun with 4 other cars. But they walked away and that is what track insurance is for or the risk you take. I simple mistake or some coolant on the track can happen to all of us.
I'm better at tire management. You have some monoballs? Pucks. Nothing?
Is this you:http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KSy8mYm1UGQ

Right on, but our gear box can't take 2-3 and 3-2 crunch. Every RS new or old. We will change to Eddies gearbox oil for next event.
Post video already

Tire management, well I need tires to be able to manage, I was driving on bricks so far as you could see for yourself.
I'll load the videos tonight or try during the day.

Erik had cooling leak issues with a front radiator again...sorry to hear about this too!
I stopped by Sebring to pick up some rear RA1's from Peter...I'm going with the Nt01/RA1 combo for 48hrs. I hope to see some of the GT3DE crew at 48.

I'm uploading the first session now :-) I took off fast while slick boys were warming up the tires and after a bunch of laps they caught up with me and passed me.
Fun session with Eddie and I trading places, screwing up both everywhere with Eddie on slicks for the first time and me with a new car setup.
I dropped my car too much, like a gokart but could not trail brake it into the corner. I put the rear bar in the middle again to see if that will help before I raise the car back up a but. My best lap was 2:192 I think. Very hard to figure out the car while trying to block Eddie LOL.
It was a driving education for me for sure.

I was doing consistent 2:22 on bfg gforce1. Couldn't get any better. Personal best was 2:24 so a little faster. Then put on my perreli cheater slicks and did one 2:20 on the last session thursday with no cars. Good times. Then I was shown the grass on the way to the hairpin by someone who drifted left and didn't see me. Scared the **** out me! That was it for me yesterday. Back home now. Wish I was up there still. Have fun and be safe. A lot of wrecks.
Peter your car is awesome. Love all the rs's. I miss mine.

That's how I felt at Barber last month, it's definitely a mechanical grip track. The ole' RA1's had nothing for a couple of 3.8RS's on Hoosiers/Pirellis....

Traffic was worse than I95 for sure....
Only got one clean lap that was a 2:18.2 this session
Almost got hit and got off track dodging Nick. Passing on the outside of 11.

The first session with Eddie:
Just did 2nd session. Sway bar rear fixed it all. We are good to go. This time duking it out with Teo passing each other a few times sometimes in heavy traffic:

Last 2 days have been exhausting. Izzone and I had some serious battles. Best time so far was 2:19:7 on Saturday. Randy is driving his RA1's like a madman. Incredibly fast for those tires. His is still an ******* though....
