PCA at Sebring 2008: race update

Fred,
Disqualification was for ballast in the smugglers well. For the record he was not under weight.
On the restart Mark and three or four others got by me and I was able to pass everyone back except Mark before the double yellow. We had a great race and I was sorry to see him disqualified.

Thanks Cory. You did really well out there! What did you do with the slant nose wide *** SC?

I passed you after the restart by the hotel turn. You came up FAST on a car, and took the inside line under braking, then got a little wide in the turn so I dove under you. Here is my ghettocam video of the restart, a little action later on, and the last lap with some action ahead of me (can you hear sound on it?):

Whenever I watch my vidoes I see how many mistakes I made and how slow I was in some corners.
GET ON THE GAS!!!!
My car was terrible coming out of the last turn with the stock shocks, I felt like I was abusing it if I went any faster. Hope I can get closer to Glen in Atlanta. We had a pro driver helping us out and his reference lap was about what Glen got at the end of the enduro (!).
Here is a shot thanks to club goomba

Thanks Fred,I just delivered the slantnose E (previous F) car to its new owner in Denver today. I have had this 964 for over a year now and it is a blast to drive at big tracks allthough not as tossable as the other car was. I am currently building another prepared car to run in the new E class as well. Hope to see you at Atlanta, Ohio and Watkins later this year.

I should post some video after Chris pulls away a bit to compare the difference following vs. "leading". There is a noticeable difference behind the wheel, but not in lap times, at least not mine. I was faster on my own according to mylaps than following Chris more closely (the laps I posted in the video).

Thx much, I understand You will be regearing Your new box to suit the powerband a bit better. Thanks for the awareness out there, I appreciate it very much! Without it, Wayland would have gapped me for sure! Hopefully we will actually meet someday, I will make a special effort next time I see You on a roster.
Best to You and Yours,
G

Glen,
You are more than welcome - beautiful car too.
My new 6 speed gearing was horrible and not fun to drive at all.
The gear splits must have been done with the wrong R&P.
I was having to short shift in the middle of corners off boost and on the straights.
The thing must be geared for 250mph...
Oh well, I still had fun with friends.
I just got to watch a lot of cars zoom by me LOL.
Nice driving again!
See you soon at a track somewhere...

Mike,
Funny I thought you were talking about the enduro.
That was a great pass you made - I was watching for you (even though I did not realize it was YOU driving)...
Thats why I went wide in 3 I thought you would want to go in there LOL
I dont like holding people up when something is not right and you were driving it well too...
