Default Racing Nascar style

Check out the photo my friends from Motorsport Media took this past weekend from the KIA 200 at Homestead along with the in-car footage from this lap. Since we were at a NASCAR track we thought we might as well try to run like those guys. Seemed to work at the BMWs were pretty quick all weekend.

You may get teflon tape at RSR Motorsports if needed. Amazing how much the draft helps lap times at HMS.

See you at Mid Ohio

Now that GA has finally got their new website operational I can see that your 80 and 81 cars went out almost immediately while you made it halfway thru the race. What happened?

Make sure you say Nascar with the proper southern inflection please.

I have the southern inflection down compared to some on the board since I was born in Gawja.

jrgordonsenior: Motor issues with two of the cars and a clutch issue with the #81.

MCongleton: Pleasure meeting you this weekend and putting a face with a name. Looking forward to more racing fun at NJMP next week. See you there.

The Kia boys were bump drafting to qualify up front at Daytona. Makes sense.

its suprising how big a difference it can make, 10mph down the straight at miller in a spec car, just need to talk it out ahead of time as to the corner transitions... if it becomes a useful tactic you'll need to adjust your exhaust tips...

Always fun seeing you guys run.
