B, did someone blow up during your last session? As I was packing up they were laying oil-dry in the paddock down the entire length of the garages

Anyway, that green ma-cheen rocks.....life is good, unless you are what's left of my barbecued tires

Yeah, 2 separate fluid dumps. We lost our last advanced session but happy hour was a go.
Great seeing you again. That Mini is rocking and rolling with you behind the wheel.
That being said, the 2 things we spoke about adding to your car can really come in handy when the unthinkable happens.
This is where I’d usually say “ask me how I know that”, but I think you already know how I know that. Food for thought my friend, especially at the talent level that you’re driving at.
As always, great seeing you.....

Bruce,
We are waiting with anticipation of the Seneca Lodge gig update and Cayman vs GT3 swap.

Readers digest version:

Seneca Bar is closed. Need to sit at table and order food to get a drink.
Cayman met her end in the Toe Sunday afternoon. Rest In Peace my love.
Drove back to Jersey Sunday night, trailered up the GT3 and got back to Watkins 3:00am Monday morning.
Insured the GT3 Monday at 8:00 am and on the track by 9am
GT3 has been on track since Monday morning.

Sorry to hear Bruce. I left early on Sunday. Met her end? How bad was it? Surely it can be repaired?

That sucks and I’ve been there before. I sure didn’t get back on the horse the next day though. Kudos to you.

Damn, Bruce. You must have been not too sore to go back and get the other car. Hard core! Hope you are well.

Thanks all. I’m fine physically.
Trying to come to grips with it mentally. Whatever.
It’s a solo flight. I’ll deal.
Just very sore from the impacts.
Other than that, I’m alive to drive another day. The safety stuff did it’s job. You track a car at our level without harnesses and Hans and cage, you’re nuts. People still do it. Crazy.

So......if anyone is looking to sell a PDK 981S with low miles......

4 days left.
Niagara today and tomorrow. Almost 16 hours of open track. Best event of the season if DE is your thing. Such a great bunch to run with.

Trying to learn this 6 speed GT3. Not the easiest car In the world to track. I’m learning.
I miss that Cayman something fierce already.
6 days down, 4 to go. Bring it!!!’

Glad you got back on the horse and glad you felt well enough to drive.
