2 years ago Trakcar was kind enough to allow Sly and I to tag along for Mancation+a girl. Peter did all the planning and scheduling and well everything to make those 5 weeks totally awesome. I miss the big lug. You guys have fun with TC and send him home safe.
The only thing cooler than Trakcar on line is Trakcar in person.

No Willow rocks but the 35mph afternoon winds backed me off in turn 8 didn't need to lose it at 110+ Did spin in 3 on exit. Found out that 61 mph was more than the car could handle, stayed on the track though.

I was there one day when that cross wind pushed my car up 2 car width in 8-9 into the marbles. Lots of spins on turn 3 you have to be careful there. The omega and turn 5-6 seem to be the favorites for off track. I lost it into the dirt once exiting 5 on the off camber left after the downhill. More than 8-9 I think. The speed there plays mental games.

Missed you out there yesterday. My buddy went off track going up the hill turn 3. He's fine, the car didn't fair so well. Glad you stayed on course. Big Willow is not a forgiving off road adventure.

Looking forward to crossing paths with the crew at Buttonwillow.

Couldn't have said it any better Clarke!

Sorry I couldn't make it Peter. Horrible timing with baby #2 due anytime.
