ha may have been the latter....after the sprint race when we were close to each other my car was EVERYWHERE>....i used the wrong tire gauge and holy cow i couldnt keep the rear end from going to 90deg every corner so that my have scared him....and been like WTF is wrong with this guy
tried to go find him after the race to apologize and see what happened to his car but he wasnt over there.


so i talked to the photographer and of course no pics of the purple enduro finish.....so if anyone has any pics of my car, Mark White in the save the ring livery black 911, and the 910 car (castellano i tihnk it was) id love to see how close it was, i know mark was RIGHT behind me and i think castellano was along side...that car is fast and we had some good racing

lost the 2nd sprint because of a certain boxster in F that was the plauge of my entire race..last lap turn 3 he lost it into 3 and forced me wide and then i got to watch 2nd place go by...tried an inside move after bishops bend and there was NO grip in the brakes....that was all she wrote.

im back home from Disney now so ill try to get some vids up when i have a lill more time.

944SP2, and SP1 for that matter weigh 2650 and make 140 to the rear wheel. Momentum and corner speed is EVERYTHING.
Recheck my son's vid and watch from maybe 1/2 way to the end.

Danged Boxsters....

Start of Sprint Race #1
#19 - Blackie 2010 GT3 (still under warranty until June 2014) - NOT a Cup car. Outside pole. Too bad pedal went to the floor about the time the picture was taken.

140 at the wheels, pretty stout! I got around 128 after a light freshening. Think I need a new shop.

There were a bunch of splitters laying over by the tech tents outside the Hall of Fame.

The first time it happened, I thought "holy cow?" But, then it happened again, and again, and again… I finally figured out he was so good, he shifted, straightened the car out, pulled the car shut, shifted and off he went

I have a video of it if I can get ambitious and post it somehow.
