Not sure. I may go in a different direction (SRF) and keep the M3 as is. Still undecided.

Looks like you didn't show them my way through the esses. Good because last time I did that I didn't make some of the Rennlisters happy. ;-)

Great shots from T3 though. Looks like you are about to lose a tire

Actually, I did show them. The BMW tried it...and liked it (just not in that photo). The 911 was adamantly urged by others not to use any curbs at RA for fear of damaging suspension elements. So he took a pass...

Yeah, the LF tire was getting some serious roll. Interestingly, however, all 4 tires wore extremely evenly, even the LF and LR. I kept the same tires on all 4 corners all 3 days. They had ~10 heat cycles on them when I got there, and they just started to cord in my last session on Sunday. I love that RA pavement!!!!

I started taking that route in the 993. But I was scared out of that route with the 996 by J3. They told me that the GT3 control arms on my car do not like gator action like that. I just picked it up from getting a race set-up, corner balance, align, etc. So I figured I'd take it easy on the gators.... Until I was in a chase, then I was all over them. Old Habits Die Hard

Any pics of my car? I still have yet to get any in motion? I should've bought the picture package that weekend, but forgot.

Tucker may have some. My package had only two pictures with your car, unfortunately, and the other one is me entering T10 with you all the way at the top of the hill, so it's nearly a speck.

DT, pretty sure if you send Henry an email he will send you a sampling so you can decided if you still want to buy a package.

Dave T 007 and I did somewhere around 170 laps in 5 days and were never on track together, so unfortunately, I don't have any pictures or video of that bitchin' 996. Henry does an awesome job!

Seth, he did show us and I actually my car likey. I did try to watch the Seth/Dave S line in the side view mirror once, resulting in an awful ugly T5 exit. I just decided to talk about it in the pits instead. Sweet setup though. Hey maybe that's why Dave wasn't hanging around back there

Little bit of a code brownie on that one. I had to straddle the dirt pot hole thanks to a crappy track out.
