I spun there my first session at an Audi Club DE in November. Managed a full 360 without leaving the track. It took a few sessions for me to re-learn to trust the track and the car and keep my foot fully in it.

Great weekend at VIR. Chin was fantastic. T. Roy you looked mighty quick out there , really enjoyed running you. A few more track days and I'll feel comfortable with the beast. Times were amazingly fast for the conditions. Your 2:08 0n a forty degree track was just silly.
The guy in the challenge car was tearing it up.
My best to all the guys Alex, Jack,Mike,Jared,Scott,Kenny,David and the cast of thousands.

Yes only TRJ would be looking for his best on a cold track! Great track car I must say and driven by an excellent driver.

And thanks to the Bimmer with the orange wheels who dumped his antifreeze right before Oak Tree Saturday afternoon

Regarding Scott's Spec Boxster, he was nice enough to give me the keys for a session. It was blast to drive. Very predictable handling. Kenny has it set up nicely. Fantastic through the corners. I give it two thumbs up!

Yeah, ended up running 207:5 which is near my best yet so hopefully next spring 20:?????? It was a blast running with everyone. Cant wait for it to warm up!

This was truly a bummer. I was the third car back and it was like being on ice... No warning at all. )

Hey TRJ you need a new Avatar with the Cup Wing. I bought a DVD from the picture person and it should be here in a few weeks. I'll look for a pic you can use.
