Prepare for meat sweats. I may end up kicking your *** this weekend because of it. Pack tums.

Appreciate the videos and advice on the track.

Good advice on the tums....I've had a little practice locally with the meat sweats (think all you can eat Korean BBQ). haha

We will let you guys know what garage Surlyn, Shake and SierraLima (Surlyn's wife - who is faster than he is :-)) are in once the garages are assigned.

Maybe Surlyn will want to buy my RS so he can be faster than the wife.

This just in......

One of my garage mates crashed out last weekend, will not be able to make it, so I have an open slot. (note: this was after I gave him tips on high speed braking in the rain...

.... what could go wrong???)

I have one garage spot open if anyone is still looking - PM me if interested...

Everybody in front of TexasRS has been said to have poor rearward visibility.

I need sticky tires. Wife has huge physical weight advantage. DE version of Danica Patrick. I will add sand bags in her trunk to slow her down.

F me. Did he hit rear? (Nevermind I see that was you. Man that was a brown moment for sure)

If it's raining I'm doing parade laps.

The video was me not him. No contact or damage (luck). COTA is actually really fun/fast in the rain, unless you are an idiot (=me)....

That's at least what I ask them after being glued to their back bumper for a full lap....

Was that ICE mode or did you just brake way too late?

Might give her more rear grip too in the M3.

Don't let her near my RS, she might want to buy it.

If you watch closely you can see the white GT3 on the rear bumper of the black BMW for an entire lap. The driver that is recording the video is very aware and quick to clear the closing traffic ...start at 25s you can see what I refer to as poor rearward vision.

This is for illustration only since Surlyn has never experienced this poor rearward vision thing
