Juan,
Yep, that was on Sunday. I have not had a chance to download Sunday's pictures yet. I was going to come over and introduce myself, but you seemed pretty busy right before heading out on the track and I didn't want to bug you. I'll post Sunday's picks tonight when I get home. Your car really looked good on the track, seemed to be very consistent.

I was deep in thought getting ready... and you are not kidding about the line for pics. Sunday's race was a busy one. Come over next time.
A summary of the weekend (I'll toot my own horn since you asked A.Wayne).
-Qualified fastest 2 liter 911
-1st overall on Klub Sport (finished 3rd on championship having done only 3 races)
-2nd in class 1 hour enduro /5th overall
-1st in class, 3rd Overall on the 4 hour index of performance enduro (7th overall before index of performance).
I had Brady Refenning co-drive on the 4 hour with me. As always, he did a splendid job out there and prepared "the" perfect car ! It only needed gas and windex through the 4 hour ordeal...

Juan,
Congrats on a great result. Next time I will indeed come over an say hello.
The Kelly Moss car that hit the wall a TON on Saturday. I saw crash this happen. He was coming out of 14. I didn't know what happened to cause the car to spin but noticed it spinning just as it began. He hit the wall near turn 15, SMASHED TWO concrete barriers and then jumped over the barriers and landed on what looked like the nose up on the barrier and the rears on the ground. It seemed like it took forever for the rescue crew to get there. Luckily, he was able to sit up on the stretcher and wave to the crowd as we all applauded. On Sunday, I asked the crew guy who was getting the car ready to put into the transporter if the driver was doing ok and he said he was fine. I think the car looks remarkably good for the impact it took.
A McLaren Can Am Car
The 2005 Flying Lizards LaMans Car.
One of the many cool 914's
This Mazda Powered Kudzo was really cool. These guys were truly Grass Roots racers.

I went to see the car as a couple of guys came over concerned it had been me. They were told that the 911 with the psychedelic graphics had a bad crash...
I also heard that the driver was ok which are great news. The damage on the car was substantial.
Thank God for modern safety equipment.

Congrats Juan!
I made the podium in the 1st night enduro on the last lap! Pure dumb luck I might add
I was on -track when the KM car crashed. He was way the heck out there outside T14, over the jersey barrier, etc... Glad to hear he was OK.
Wrote up some of our experiences here.
See you out there.

Way to go Juan.
Are you planning on making the whole season next year? I didn't realize that the 901 Shop was wrenching on your car. Brady is a good driver. He knows Sebring like the back of his hand. How many cars did the 901Shop take over?

Thanks. So far I'll only do the 3 Florida events and will try to do at least another one.
I'd love to do the full schedule (except for Utah due to obvious cost reasons) but reality hits....
901 Shop only fielded 2 cars for the weekend; my car and their own FIC/CP 2 liter car (which is for sale) with which they only did one race. They also brought the "ferocious tiger" (2004 Factory Cup Car) which is also for sale but that one was only being displayed.
