I wasn't referring to the opening lap, rather the rest of the video in which you hold Streak off repeatedly. Good consistent driving by both of you. I've never taken that line inside 1, so I know I didn't show it to you, but it's good to know it's there to use if needed. This way we can keep on keepin' on.
I'm looking forward to racing with you guys again, always challenging and fair. I know I can trust you guys in close quarters.

My only secret this year is not to go flying off the peak of T3 and running on the brown track on the left with the special gas tank modifier over there....

That and not passing the Pace Car when the inevitable 944 Yellows come out..
(Just for you Bill!)

From the way you guys are talking, I'm thinking I'm glad 944Cups will have a split start.
Geez, this thing is still two months away....

Can most of you guys in SP3, 2, E, F, G go the full 60 minute enduro without a stop?

VIR was my first enduro and I started running into fuel starvation at TI just about the 50 minute mark. So I had to come in 10-15 minutes earlier than I had estimated. I presume (Yellows notwhithstanding) that VIR is more fuel-thirsty than TBolt though....

I'm sure that I can go the distance, I've gone much further than that before.
Are they mandating a stop, or is it a one hour sprint?

Per the rules, 60 minute Enduros do not require a stop....

I may need to somehow fix my fuel starvation issue on right hand corners when I get to 3-4 gallons left.... Don't even know where to start to do this... And I dont want a fuel cell at this juncture.
