Today was nice and sunny! There were three race groups with 2 Sprints per group.

Chris posted the first page of the results from the two Sprints in group 3 and the results from the second Sprint of group 2. There were almost 50 drivers in group 3. Also, the 944 Cup guys had a split start which explains why the results look the way they do.

The red/white GT2R hairdryer that Mifkin referenced totally dominated group 1. It was impressive.

It's supposed to rain tomorrow for the enduros...

I was there today volunteering for Peachstate PCA! Had a great time although it was cold as Hell this morning (can you say windy?).

Just got home to Charlotte. Had a good time. 997 was not as much of a challenge as I had thought though I still have 1.5 seconds on the table vs. car's capability.

Thanks to Martin @ TRG for brokering the sale of the car to me. It was everything that they represented it to be. Thanks to Autometrics for great support.

Finally, thanks to everyone for good clean racing.

Yep, here is my fastest lap (1:36.1) from Qualifying. Rain forecast for tomorrow should make for an interesting Enduro!

Great video and driving in the wet. Love the AIM smartycam with telemetry set up. To bad the weather for the enduro did not match up to the sprints.

The drivers are faster than the car, always great to race against!

Chris,

I am absolutely impressed with your capacity to stop a 997. From the outside it looked so easy, and I am sure there is nothing further from reality . You handled the car amazingly well!!!

I was watching your second Sprint race by the esses and also how you almost materialized a pass taking advantage of a lapped car...it looked beautiful for a few seconds...you played it very smart!!

Congrats on your new car. I guess I will not see you on the track any more. My only chance to drive near you was during your "baptism" with the car. From now on, I guess it will be "Bye-bye baby...".

I couldn't get close enough to the car to see the driver!

Interesting race against the red 993, what happened to him? Looks like he gave up and moved aside for you.
