It rained for enduro qualifying and the first enduro. Second enduro was dry.

I had a great time putt-putting around. And it's always a pleasure to see folk from Rennlist in person. RA certainly makes you lust for more HP but what a great track to drive.

^Tom, I gridded your car a couple times on Sunday for the sprint races. Your car looked great!

Thanks. It looked better before a snap spin in 13a in the rain resulted in some fiberglass damage (damn walls). I have to look at the data and answer the question if a car is faster without a rear bumper cover. You should have wandered over on the grid to say hello. Now I feel slighted.

Unfortunately, I only shot 2 practice sessions. There were many cars I just never got.

Thanks James.

I was hoping to get a shot of your car, but missed it. Man, those were some quick laps. Nice work.

Thanks Mike...........Todd and Aki did a great job building this car........took over 2 years while we were focused on the Audi program.

It was so fun to drive and as you can see, it wasn't sketchy either. I was braking a bit early into 1, 5 and Canada corner.......but didn't feel like pushing those limits yet.

There is more in the car........hope to bring it back again someday.

Fun weekend- had 2 great races. Good speaking with Tom W and some old friends.
Hopefully Mark will give some insight to driving that Kelly Moss RSR- he ran a 2:15 in the first race- a very good driver in an exceptional car.
I got to within 1.4 sec per lap of Gamroth, which I'm pretty happy with. Trailing arms, steel brakes, 105 hp/l and poor aero compared to the factory RSR. Jeff ran the same times Cervelli did with his factory RSR several years ago, so the 2:19.0 seems the benchmark for those cars. Gary Boss also gave me a tip which apparently has cured all my issues with the dogbox.
Attendance seemed to be down and judging by the Saturday night party the heyday seems to be behind us for now. It still is, IMHO, the best overall PCA event in the country.
