Thanks Victor for all the help today.

Yeah Jason I tried the new setup with the 17" wheels and it worked great.

84-944 purchased new stickers today, sooooo we will see how it goes on Saturday.

Remember Brian.... 329 is my day.

I talked to Jupe today, and he had done a 1:35.2 in the 3rd practice. Also sounded like Larry was teaching Mark a few things about the order of things in H class

Let me tell ya 'bout the jupeman. Here I am minding my own business in my 2nd day ever driving a GT car running a 1:35.5. So I'm braking for 10A at the 180 mark and jupe dive bombs me like I'm sitting still, not once, not twice, but three times!!!! Oh well..I'm stoked about the weekend so far. This is my first time in the RSR and we've had two flawless days except for missing the first session due to fouled plugs. Hell we had such a good day that all four of our cars, 1 1R, 2 2R, and 1R were under the car cover at 5:15 this evening, when the hell does that ever happen??

Jupe told me in a message last night that he broke his own GTC1 record yesterday, but was concerned about the weather today and tomorrow.

Lulling them to sleep with the 'ol sandbag routine, are we BKS?

Yes, trans will be all back together and in the car end of next week. Took Dan some time to find a case that wasn't a zillion $s. I'll probably do a shakedown at a Lime Rock DE before the race.

Well the guys are at the track getting ready to do their practice runs. Its not raining. Forecast is for scattered thunder storms. To me that means it may not rain at all at the track.

You guys would have laughed your asses off last night seeing Mike (BT) priming his Nemeses (Doug C) with drink hoping to gain an advantage today. Oh, and bribing his wife to keep him up -very- late.

Larry was first in class yesterday in the fun race.

It does look like the 3 p.m. sprint race will be determined by who chose well with tires. It's raining right now. It may have stopped by 3 p.m. Stay tuned!!
