Didn't see you. We had a great weekend, with the exception of 2 GT3s getting bent pretty bad. Weather was great, and the track was all but perfect.

For those of you fretting the Billy Mitchell turn (#13), it's exactly the same (to me, anyway) without the concrete bridge abutment. The new tunnel is nice, and improves access to the track. The event seemed a bit smaller, but I had last year's race weekend in mind, where the turnout is huge. The official number was only 7 cars down from last year.
This continues to be my favorite place to drive, and it was great to get some more seat time here, especially since I can't do the Club Race this fall- my only daughter is getting married the following weekend, and she and Mom have put their size 7s down, and firmly.

The second (group 2) spun after 14 and went into the wall on the passenger front and side. He had damage along the entire side. The front wheel was just hanging on.
The only other incidents were some damage (minor next to the GT3 damage) to a 914 and a 944.

He runs Group 2 IIRC, they share the red 928.

One span out at turn 14. Just too fast, back came around and span into the wall. Nasty mash.
Apparently both drivers sited user error.
Dangerous machines those GT3s.
