Had to cut my trip short to Friday/Saturday only as I needed to be in LA Sunday morning but managed to have lots of fun Saturday. I'm discarding Friday... upset stomach... couldn't do more than 10min a session before feeling sick!

The track is awesome, lots of different types of turns, elevation changes, blind exits, tricky shifting timing coming out or in between turns.... total blast Met some nice and fun people, great time

Here's a fun moment from Saturday... working on carrying more speed through turn 1, turned too late->missed apex->fun time!

Wow, exciting. I'm trying to trail brake the heck into T1. Able to carry much more speed into it. Good idea to take it in small chunks, of course :-)

Just wanted to take a moment and thank the entire Norcal DE cup crew. Your generosity and hospitality is second to none. Everyone helped make this weekend possible for me. From Mooty bringing up my track wheels to Orlando, Alice and Chasen for stuffing me full of great grub to Derek (honorary Socal chapter member) for letting me stage in his trailer I felt a little guilty for taking all the help but tried to give back where I could. My heartfelt thanks to you all. It was a fantastic weekend.

ho ho rehab.... hahahahah. i didn't know comedy 201 was part of our curriculum at HAAS way back when....

once you touch hoho, you are a GONER.

i just leave my wheels with chasen, he gets me tires, mounts them and brings them to track for me in my trailer, he charges me a few bux for my convenience and feed his own hoho habit lol. now if i can get him to wash my damn cars and pull the trailer up........
