Default Roebling Road this past weekend

A few of the Florida boys went to Roebling this past weekend.

Had a great time, few beers...good food

Broke in my new ATC enclosed trailer. Once you go enclosed you wont go back. Lollipop even made us lattes every morning

Of the group I was the only one who didnt mow the lawn.....i have many times

Found out Deputy Dog has a obsession with jellyfish......and El Matador put one on his toothbrush

Back to topic....best session of the weeknd


Went out for some filming of the Greek and DDog


Rad what is are the DE Cup times at Roebling?

I got beat. He's scratching off tracks one by one.
We can both run a 16 looking at each others data, working together.
Compared date, my 3 laps that were lap 3-4-5 on second day. Those were also your fastest 3 laps.

Sebring is next..

My best, no rabbit though.

There is a 1:16.5 or better in your future for sure. 5 looks too tight. Some left in T-1 entry...but a fun 2 laps to watch. How were your tires in those 2 laps....fading?

Congrats on the trailer - if you didn't buy it, I would've. Smoking deal.

I see the 16 too

too early into 1 and wider, earlier on the gas in 9

Will be the winter before I can try again

Tried wide on 5, just seems going right to go left is slower.....but I couold be wrong. Figure sooner on gas and shorter distance is better

The morning session had so much more grip but traffic....tires were pretty gone, or track was hotter

T5 is an enigma (never feels "right" to me)...nevertheless 1:16 (or better) is coming 4 u no matter how you take T-5

he loves it, but maybe mosport better...

looks like a good training track though, for keeping car balanced through rapidly alternating directions and changing radii.

T5 is the left hander? That is the most difficult one to me as well.

It's a great track. Nice flow and very technical and great car equalizer.
Not very long, not very exiting elevation but great fun track. Ive only been there 3 times I think, I really should go more often!

This one is on top of my list after 48 hours, then Homestead, then maybe PBIR...

So funny, every time I think he's got it the dust plume grows LOL.

And T2

Didn't realize how hot Burke went into the Carousel until I saw Marks POV, training for FormulaD!

I've got a lot of learning to do with the GT3, know the track, now need to learn the new car and get a bunch more seat time.

Fun weekend, lots of good beer and food, learned World of Beer now has a spot in downtown as well.
