Sweet updates, Trakcar. Sounds like you're pretty familiar with the track and flogging her good at this point!

Reter is fearless and has big cajones in that RSA.

Shooting for 2:08 tomorrow, I think there's not much more I can do safely.
Many days to go so not the time to get overly brave.

A fast time here in a 3.8RS is 2:00?

At Sebring I'm 2:28 so 8-10 secs so RS on Nitto's roughly.

Yeah it is. I couldn't crack 2:03 (did 2:03 flat, and 2:03.1-2:03.3 like 4 times) with scrub hoosiers. Maybe on a nice chilly day with fresh hoosiers I can crack 2:01-2:02. I'd need slicks to get 2 flat with the nannies on.

I was in front of him and saw his front passenger tire lift off the track in turn 2 and glided through the turn effortlessly. He did damn good for his first track weekend at Buttonwillow.

No super times here. Best I could do is a 2:16.4 in da Civic. That was fast enough in Blue group to pretty much get clean laps when staring in the front of the grid.

Really good to meet a lot of the CA RL crew, good group of guys and SP Motorsorts is 1st class. Alice's Restaurant was really doing an outstanding job.

Really like BW, fun, technical track with some ballsy turns. At least I kept the infamous BW dirt out of the car.

Off to the The Ridge for Thusday/Saturday and weather report looks dry.

Just got back to LA and man am I wiped. Two awesome days of tracking only made better by a fun and diverse group of people. Great to meet Trac Car and the Farmer finally in person. He does indeed drive FLAT OUT. Great driving, great company, great meals, great time! Can't wait to do it again soon. Will try to cut together my fun dirt excursion and a couple of laps behind the world famous Trac Car and mooty.

Fantastic having Trakcar & 85Gold join the Black Sheep Racing crew for a beautiful 3 day weekend at BW for the PCA.

I signed up for the DE, however this was my inaugural PCA club race, so that took priority and I never got out with the boys. Orlando and I did as well as could be hoped for rookies - no drama! Unfortunately, Tini had teething problems that kept SP Motorsports busy all weekend. Huge shout out to Chasen & Joey for keeping me in the game. Top notch support!

Great time meeting the Nor Cal crew and some new folks, including the Farmer and Trakcar. No track cafe can even touch the great eats of Alice's kitchen. I'm looking forward to Thunderhill in July. Now back to work....

Get you *** over here.
SP Motorsports is full service just like we have gotten used to the last few months.

Great meeting all the Rennlisters out west.
If you're not here you're doing it wrong!

I ended up getting down to 2:02.6 after we spoke. Was on the way to 2:02.1, but screwed up entering the esses.
