u need to get to BW soon. it's a really great track.
lars was doing well and i had a few lap of fun with him until..... the biatch had pms. ugh...

the key to go fast at BW is to puke in the morning and drive only in the afternoon. you had to be there to understand.

Mooty, 24Chromium, DRL & Company had the velvet rope around their trailers. I could barely get a peak inside because I didn't know the secret handshake. I will have to look in my old GT3 manual to see what was that handshake.

Hopefully, you can make it down and you can keep my dump truck company next time.
r u the silver 6gt3? if so, great driving. i had fun chasing you. i kept thinking we have the same car. the two silver gt3 would look great together.... then i realized it's not the same car ugh......

HA- dirt has a high coefficient of friction compared to wet or fresh grass- I think brown is a good color around race tracks!

Nice video BTW, my off was about the same, only the guy throwing the dirt in the car missed my open windows for the most part.

Was there as well this week-end trying out my newly acquired 996 GT3. I stopped by to talk to the one driving the stripped red 996 GT3. I forgot your name but thanks for answering my questions. I'm trying to learn as much as possible to get up to speed (pun intended!).

This was my first week-end out with the car and first time with PCAGGR. I have to say that I felt that the event was very well run, kept on schedule and very smooth execution all around.

By the end of the week-end, I was getting pretty comfortable with the car. Nothing like some of you but still managed to get 2:10 with old R888.

Here is a few shots of my car and setup (quite modest compared to some of you guys ). Hoping some of you guys stop by to say hello next time you see me at the track. I'm from San Diego so normally hang out at Buttonwillow, Willow Spring and Chuckwalla.

I had an awesome week-end and absolutely love this car

Is it my imagination or is BW very bumpy? Did you use external mic on your gopro 2?

Wow ... that is a very dusty spin. We mow lawn at Thunderhill and looks like BW is landscape business

what's up with red dragon?

I have not puke for over 30 years so I will use other means ot lose weight. I think I will bring my civic to BW and give it a try first

Just wanted to double check with you... are you down shifting to 3rd gear for the left hander out of the bus stop, and again at the top of Phil Hill? I've been watching video of the weekend and see lots of areas for improvement for myself.

You are zen master!

Mooty, I was in the Z06 wearing my gold chains and mullet. No more GT3 for me at the moment.
