I tried to tell you guys; it's a HP event. Can't get enough of it. And a track like RA will bring that out.

well today was pretty wild...

we finaly figured out what was going on with the engine... for some reason the variable cam system isnt engaging... so we are getting the hi rev HP... so its like a honda motor with no Vtec...... or something like that.... we were told its about 70 hp... up top... we went to dealership to figure all of this out....

but i have bad news guys... during transit tonight.. just a couple hours ago.. we hit a deer and we are done.... it nailed the front left side... popped the radiator.. its all messed up....

our onelap is over....


i wana thank Donnie.. we really had a good time...

and i wana thank FarnbacherLoles... that Cayman GTR is a very cool car... sitting there staring at the car all messed up... i was so Torn... just felt so bad for it.. i think i got attached to it.... i really liked her..

Oh Deer! Well at least he didn't pull the rookie move and swerve and hit a tree. Is the nose from a GT3 or is that a specially fabbed FL creation?

This happens every year to a few guys.

Thats a shame, bud.
