What, and reveal my new secret line through the minefield?

I'll try to see what I can dig up tonight.

Looking forward to running with you again, Dan. My qualifying time was aided and abetted by a very smooth track and cool temps, so I got lucky.

If we can convince John Haas to come over from Ohio, we'll have six cars in G, maybe more.

I did a three day DE there two weeks ago, too, and didn't think the track was that bad at all. It's certainly not Watkins Glen-smooth, but it's also not like piloting an off-shore powerboat. IMHO.

I dunno but the track seemed like the fastest it has been since the repave 2 weeks ago during the PCA Porschefest.

The new concrete in T1 seemed excellent. Sure T6 was tearing up a bit of asphalt but it didn't seem to affect grip much.

Track surface in mid August wasn't bad. The T1 repairs are good.

The last Nasa event saw some very very fast times.

I stand corrected. I checked my data and video from three weeks ago. Wasn't that bad afterall. Unfortunately, this means I can't blame my slow lap times on the track and have to face the fact that the frunt-runner in G is 1.5 seconds faster than me (based on laptimes from last year's race)

Hey Mark, how were your times two weeks ago compared to the race last year????

I had my personal best time ever 2 weeks ago for the NASA race. Unfortunately my Aiptech crapteched so no video.

At the Potmac DE I'm not sure Mark's times were any good as I don't recall he ever got a session without a passenger.
( Mark was very much in demand for ride alongs due to his mad driving skilz )
