Small meet and greet to put names with faces. Too many people here, too many rungroups. Hard to tell who is who.

Even better idea...

After we meet, why don't we take our cars out to the outside parking lot where the COTA sign is and do a group pic there?
D'OH! I just saw this, I went back to the hotel ASAP after my last run to get a shower and relax, it got HOT out there. Down to do this tomorrow?

They are split by "experience" but I asked to be in the only intermediate group, as did the GT2RS here, but we were put into an advanced group...seems like this happened to a lot of people as there's a lot of slow people and a lot of fast people and that is not fun.

I think it's 35 cars/group, but they don't space you out at all at the beginning which annoys me...

It was nice meeting you two today (I have the grey/gold RS that was next to the grey/red one!)

Must be back for Dec at Road Atlanta to try to improve on my TT1 record. My goals are a bit optimistic, but they were last year too and I actually exceeded my expectations. Probably going to also try a set of Michelins in Dec and see how she does with no limitations.

But Chin is a possibility. I will be doing 3 days for NASA if they have it and 3 more days for NARRA.

Jenks kicked *** at TWS. 1:52.x his final session. Pretty quick for his first day there, all things considered!

Default Fun at COTA

Geez, we were going to post video, but then we tripped and fell into a keg of beer.....

This morning, first session on street tires (MPSS), 2:37.x was best I could do:




Since developing talent takes hard work and time, I put on slicks instead for 2:31.x:



A big THANK YOU to Rennlist's own Nugget, who provided coaching last session of the day. With his excellent suggestions to improve line (and driving), I will be chasing the 2:30 barrier tomorrow......

Yes :-( a 996 on slicks I heard, pretty banged up front and some rear damage. Driver was fine, had all the safety stuff.

I wonder how COTA will deal with the "customer".

Track was a lot more fun with Hoosiers. Thought the NT01's were pretty bad on this surface. Went from 2:34.xx to 2:28.88. Someone with actual skill could easily do a 2:25.xx

I won't rush back but certainly a good time. They need to figure out how to run a DE at COTA. Red flags for every spin. Full course waving yellow for a broken car off track in the esses. It was ridiculous.

Good to meet some more RLers.

Austin was a fun town too. Strange being at a track with so much available to do when the track goes cold. W Hotel bar with Greek, El Matador and Jenks was an experience.

Jocelin and I had a ton of fun hanging out with the Rennlisters. Thanks for letting us play! This was seriously the best Minnesota February week, ever! Hope to see you guys again.

The 996 hit the guardrail on the left side of turn 4 pretty hard. I didn't see it happen but it was sitting in the paddock afterwards. It looked like a write off to me, but hopefully not.

I saw the aftermath of the Viper as well, but the damage look pretty light. Front end had a few cracks in it.

Aside from a few incidents, what a fun weekend! I'll post some videos up later with a more detailed recap. Best I could manage on Michelin Pilot Super Sports was a 2:34.x. I was working on a 2:33 according to my predictive lap timer but I ran into traffic at turn 19. Most folks were on race rubber from what I could tell.
