Can I have a shirt and do you have WOB?
Just have to figure if I take the truck and trailer or ship car and what shop to leave it all at while going home in between fun.

Got some time to sort things out, but I have the basics down as I was supposed to be there this year..
i have a warehouse to store your car and/or trailer for very low $.
the warehouse is centrally located.
160 miles to t hill
100 miles to laguna
80 miles to infineon
250 miles to button willow

i'll have grease monkey change your engine and tranny oil bn events.
once you leave CA, montoya and pjs will have you covered.

medpilot105 & ChrisF,

What cars were you driving?

I was hanging with Kormaster the entire weekend. There were 3 white RS's in the blue group along with a number of GT3's. The spacing in the group was pretty good so we didn't get bunched up too much plus the track is long enough to get spaced out after a few laps.

I was in a silver .2 GT3 and I did see two other .2's there in the grid a couple times. Must've been kormaster and ChrisF.

I lined up behind the grey .2 once on grid in hopes of some lead/follow fun on one session but the grid marshal cycled a bunch of guys to the back of the grid for some reason. Not sure why. But, I did see a couple white RS's there and on track. They both looked amazing! Never seen a GMG WC-GT3 RS before. Quite nice!

The light traffic helped me get in a fast lap Sunday morning. It's fine up to Turn 8 but I get sloppy after that. Can't I hold myself together for one lap? Lol

Lol. That's what I did. Ran laps, return to shade, load up on fluids, relax, repeat.

Looking back at video, think I saw them all. I don't get to mix it up with many GT3's too often so it was nice to be out on track with them.

DRL,

you wear spandex while riding your Ducati? That must be an odd sight to see. Lol

montoya, nice T-shirt and welcome to the no none sense sheep club

below is a pic of me fashion the black death star T-**** in 100F heat and couple more pic of the DE Cup love shack with CL hell and long tech line Friday afternoon.

Hope to see some of you soon again at Thunderhill. It was fun and I am really tired from all the playing. Next time I will have fresh slicks to keep up with mooty through the tight corners ... I can only do so much with 35+ heat cycle scrub tires.

more video from past weekend - note to self, need better pit crew
