Nice to see, everyone, after the extended absence ... yes, even, you guys from Texas.
I had some good races--would've gained 13 spots on the enduro had I not been DQ'd (late pit stop) and picked up 6 places during the sprint. Now, all I need to do is figure out how to qualify and I'll be set. Also managed a new personal best at RA (let's hope so in the new car) and the car ran like a champ and left unscathed.
Pefect weekend.

Charlie - Colin - Great to meet you guys, Thanks for coming all the way to the Heartland! For a new track you both did very well!! I’m glad I had new shoes. FYI – the last race I was low on fuel and stumbling the last 2 laps, Charlie, I saw you in the mirror looming! I hate to say this, 1 more lap & you would have gotten me. Now to get you up to BIR...., or what about this, (depending on the track schedule this next summer, If I come to your home track, the Glen, & we have a GTC-1 love-fest with all your go-fast buddies & you, then perhaps we could have a re-match @ my home track @ BIR?? . Seems you guys from out east have a few more GTC-1’s then us. I might be able to get 3 - 4 GTC-1’s to come out and play here as well. Again great to meet you both, good luck the balance of year!

One last thanks to the Chicago gang for a great weekend and hello to all the new and old friends I got to hang out with this weekend.
Colin, great driving but you know this is coming!
Repeat after me, "996s are tough, 996s are durable, 996s are fast"
See you all in Daytona.

You should definitely make the trip out east next year to partake in the GTC1 battle at the Glen. The track is similar to RA (high speed, fast corners), but with more elevation change and only one second gear turn.

Thanks
I also would like to thank the Chicago Region for this event. Very well run and what a great group of people.
I forgot to pick up any photos.... does someone have the contact info for the photographer who had his pics under the tent?
I'll be back next year but this race will be a tough one to follow.

I believe this is the guy you're refering to. You're not talking about Photographic Images by Edmund right?

Daytona should be fun. I think the 996s aerodynamics should help us out but now that I've given Colin so much crap I'm pretty sure I'll blow my engine to pieces on the first lap.
