Default Pat Long in a 964Cup!

Would love to see video.

It was an impressive display in bith sprints... watched from the hairpin. He spanked my boy yonker ( who admittedly was having car issues all day)

Did multiple head shakes when I saw his name pop up on race monitor. Why did he start dead last? And who's C-1 car was he driving? Damn I really hope he had the camera rolling for that race!!! Had to be an amazing race---kinda like the Leh Keen at Watkins Glen vid from a few years ago. Love it!!!

He broke the c1 record. I give props to charlie boyer being the previous record for being within a half a second of Pat. That would have been a good race if they were both on the track.

He always does! Look at how much fun he had with Chad Plavan's 2.5 L 911 ST!

We all know Pat is an incredible driver and racer and can do amazing things with almost any car he drives . . . especially 911s. However, I am wondering if he acheived the great lap times by purely his driving talent WITHOUT much time to work on setting up the car to his liking? Or, did he actually have some time to work on setting up the car before he ran these fast laps?

If anyone happens to have been close enough to the action on that day, I would love to know from a high level what kind of setup changes he ended up making to bring the car to his liking? Or, maybe he just jumped in the car with whatever setup it had and just drove the snot out of it?

Also, count me as one more person who is very interested in seeing video if any is available.
