CJ,
I think you were around when I first came up and talked to Gene. He was giving everyone advice on how to drive at the time. I was questioning him about his offs and he kept blaming the car. I was giving him some crap. Oh yeah, final clue: He is as wide as he is tall......

My performance box says that my best lap times (measured at start/finish just prior to T1) was 2:37 on Saturday, and 2:33 on Sunday. Does this sound right (I'm still learning how to use the PC software)? Good lap time, or no?

Ok got a video from Sunday 3rd "white" session
I am following my "master race" buddy Dean in the grey Gt3, when VR and George A come by to give us some lessons. Middle 10 min or so are a group of VR, George A, Dean and I. Awesome laps!
VR pulls the train and likes it!

FWIW, I'm thinking that the problem may be solved by adjusting the damping rates in my rear shocks. I only had the issue when on the brakes in the bumps.

I even pointed you by at the checkered. How dumb was THAT?! Wasn't my weekend. Maybe need to try breathing through my eyeballs or something.

LMAO!
Kurt, I really enjoyed watching your video. Made me really wish I'd been there! Is it coincidence that the vette makes a last second pit-in at about 13:20? It looks like you were slowly reeling him in after he'd passed you earlier. 
Great weekend! I was battling dodgy stock brake pads all weekend but it was still a lot of fun. I hope I didn't hold anyone up for too long out there. Here's the video from my last session on Sunday. Feel free to offer any advice! http://www.vimeo.com/1784701

Greg, I don't think he's done many events so he was taking it pretty easy out there. Cool guy to talk to and I don't think he had any ego problem, probably something didn't feel right with his car. I didn't get a chance to talk to him after that session though. That thing had some huge 6pot Brembo's on the front, 4pot rear and was on MPSC tires. Impressive machine!
Too bad you couldn't make it out, the weather was great.

Yeah Greg, we missed you. Just a perfect breeze to keep things cool. So perfect that some guy brought his sailboat, and another guy flew an ulta-light-parachute-air-boat thingy right over the track. Which was very distracting, by the way... trying to nail the hill before T9 with a slow moving aircraft spiraling around about 100 ft above you!
