Great weekend - perfect racing temps until the drops came down, wife was ready to leave anyways so it worked out for me.
i am usually confused, and on track i am more confused. was i talking with you next to your big RV and we actually had dinner together? cow tongue.... if so, i apologize, i didn't make the connection....

instead of racing, i should have run red group. chase you and dave bmw as well as suicial martin's GT4. i think that wold be more fun.

best run i had was chasing an early 996GT3 cup 3.8L. a cool neural surgeon i think. i can't pronounce or spell his name. he was my rabbit !!! good driver.

Mooty, I would love to do Sonoma, but I am already signed up for COTA that weekend. It is a Chin event and there are still spots available for advanced drivers...

We are trying to get on Thunderhill in the next week.

Yes you are lame but you were smart this time around!
Track upload. Buttonwillow has LTE out there now. Instead reviewing video for better lap times I post on RL. Gotta keep the post count high!
Good to see you and skxf430 out there!

I call it the bridge, it's more a little hill that always makes me think. You were looking quick out there Mooty. Nice!

Dec 13 is an open test day at Buttonwillow (track in videos above).
Dec 19-20 is an open day at Chuckwalla (well they run 20 mins run groups so 1 run per hour)

Good to see Spyerx, and USC on track with his GT4. Always fun to chase DC640 in his Bummer.

Mooty, you should get out of the race group. They are a buzzkill and no fun to play with.

Yeah, like Spyerx said...both are private track day run by the tracks. Call the tracks directly to register for the events. Unlimited track time so as much as you and/or your car can handle. I want to get lap times for 13CW...I should be able to do 1:55s.

I need cheater tires to even try to keep up with you guys. Maybe the BGB power package too.
