James, our week was 100F+ in old money!!

It takes an absolute maestro to turn a 2:21 in a Cup at Spa... meanwhile good drivers are already hitting similar times in their initial outings with the CS huh!

So as with all well planned events, something is bound to be thrown at you to make things difficult. It turns out that Bryan (Sellers) was called on by his team Paul Miller Racing, to participate in the World Challenge SRO event at WGI the Labor Day weekend. I was however able to call on another valuable resource to step in and take the reigns. As of right now, Leh Keen will be our new driver for the shootout! I have known Leh for some time and am happy he stepped in to help us get this done. I will keep everyone posted as things progress. With luck, the curve ***** have all been thrown!

He's going to have a busy weekend between this and running in the club race.

Car was spectacular. Time was achieved after only 3 laps. Car was setup perfectly by Goldcrest and special thanks to David Murry, PCA, Road America and Pirelli.

The video and storyline will be awesome. Tons of video shot. Should be really cool. Car proved to be more amazing than I expected!!

One of my favorites. Watch it at least once a month.

One note I was thinking of, the 2RS is going to be strongest at RA compared to anywhere else it goes. It's a monster and a half but I just dont see a similar result at somewhere like Laguna or even Watkins.
Also Leh's MR isnt dead stock is it? (Posted a video on dyno talking about big power upgrades). I think the Cup car is more in the mix overall than this shows, but damn the 2RS looks like a proper old school monster to drive

I didn't get a lap on the time sheet. Best rolling was 2:09.3

I will post that up in a bit.
