There, maiden RA voyage for this car after many years in E in my 944S2, which is still for sale ! Looking forward to it, and to seeing so many good friends.

If you walk by the Jerry Woods (JWE) rig, stop in to say hello.

Who will be with Gamroth?

Gamroth and I will be next to each other in the garages. Not sure who is coming with him. I'll be sure to stop by and say hi Tom.

Should be hella fun. Disappointed that Rick Polk is registered for a Cup car not his GT 3 'Cow' car-

Kai, the plan is to keep him in sight and hope traffic helps out- that car is the most highly developed GT car I've ever seen, and Mark can wheel it as well. I'm thinking multiple shots of whatever those Aussies drink for him Saturday night...

Yes, yes it is. He's done a wonderful job working with two great shops to build what may be the most highly developed air cooled car on the planet. Rumor has it that the new hp figure is a record.

Is your engine(s) done...anything new? And...did Jeffie tear the dogbox down for inspection...how did it look after your first season with it?

would anyone be interested in a video (sorry no telemetry) of a flying lap of Road America with commentary and pointers by Patrick Long to review this week?

The Patrick Long video is what I used before I went last year to learn the track. It was a great help to understand what to expect and learn the turns.

Now that I know what to expect and it's not the first event after a crash, I'm hoping that I'll be a bit faster than last year's 2:28 in my little putt-putt car. (And Rick, I'm not letting any cow car pass me on the last lap! )

There will be a new one from earlier this month that we should have up early this week with a corner by corner breakdown followed by a flying lap. I'll be sure to share the link once we have it up.
