Hey Everybody, Had a great time even though I only got about half my time in due to mechanical. The Boathouse was a great time on Wed! Will try to get some photos posted shortly!

Those curbs sure were taller than last year. Anybody hit one of them?

They suck. Makes West Bend a much different turn since you can't clip the cub at the apex

John wanted to say hello but only saw you for 5 seconds in the tech line.

Your 928 sounds and looks as amazing as it moves.

I wonder how many guys decided to pay $6 a gallon for the 93. Crazy prices there!

Anything to keep Cindy on track. Hell at $400 for front brake pads whats $50 for 8 gallons of gas. Worst yet is I found out later that the gauge reads low after extreme hard cornering and I actually could have let her go out for that run.

I think I am in the clear now.

Yeah - they need to shave down that West Bend curbing at the apex...

I hit it once. Coming off of it, the curbing threw the car to mid track. Was already at 3/4 throttle, so all I could do was stay on throttle and hope I don't run out of track at track out. Wound up getting my left tires on the turtle at track out - so I had just enough room....

I have the video - will have to figure out how to shorten the clip and post it up...

It definitely throws you in more way than one. Never experienced anything like it any other track.

Maybe next time. Thanks for the compliment

Wound up getting my left tires on the turtle at track out -
LOL, I seem to come close or dive them often
I also feel like the new apex curbing isn't the same radius as before or maybe its that I can't drive up onto it like in the past. West Bend was one of those turns that was a no brainer, but I sure did have to focus on it this past event.

The clubrace should be interesting.....

A few laps from day 2.
I hope to get my suspension dialed in better during the practice sessions at this weeks club race. It will be my 1st rookie PCA club race, it should be a ton of fun

My friend Don is trying to get me to go to Thunderbolt May 18th/19th. I may be able to swing one day there so I can have some fun on track with him.
I will have to see what her indoors has to say about it
