Oh I know, even June is pretty bad. I'm glad there weren't any events in August to tempt me. I probably won't be back out there until Nov.

it's been super fun - where else in the world do you get: GT3 RS (white/red), 911 Turbo, GT3 RS Purple, GT3 Blue hauling *** down the front straight have the time of their lives!

There was a cluster of the 4 of us that were just move'n - people would see us coming and just get out of way!

we were all running flat 2's for lap times or slightly better - on hot greasy end of day track and having a great time!

Chasen211 is the world's most awesome rabbit. It was also my first sub 1:58 lap @ 1:57.513 according to data...I want to chase you some more!

Awesome weekend guys - great to see and play with you!

This weekend rocked but it's good to be back in So Cal (about to hit the jacuzzi to let my soar old body soak in the hot bubbly water). It was great meeting the "Nor Cal" (see I remembered, Chromium) gang and special thanks to mama and papa Chasen for putting on some great feasts for us hungry track junkies.

I only beat you by a tenth?!?!?!! Damn, I thought I DECIMATED you out there.

Too bad daveo4porsche had to leave early. It would have been an epic 3-way battle for TTOD!

Can't thank you and entire GGR volunteer staff enough. You put on the BEST events and the GGR is my hands-down favorite group to run with. Porsche people are my kind of people!

Scrub Yokos. And I absolutely HATE them! They give me zero confidence in the car. I'm quite certain that I would have gone quicker with scrub Hohos. Love me some Hohos!

I won the TT at ORP using fresh Hoosiers that came heat cycled from Tire Rack. Simply amazing grip the first two sessions. I think better than Yoko's (at least the mediums that I use). Not to trash Yoko's but for the premium, I don't see the benefit over Hoosiers which I think equal the grip of Yoko's new and last much longer.

I find they feel similar, so maybe your reference is a well used set of Hoosiers against the Yokos. My Yoko's only last 8-10 HC's and while slower at the end they don't get to ever feeling slippery, while the Hoosiers do (but I find are still pretty quick right to the end).
