Ehhh. My fast lap wasn't credited to me since it was during the enduro and I had a codriver. That sucks.

Thanks ProCoach and Juan. Juan, you doing SVRA?

I think the end of this month at Sebring. I have a room at the Chateau reserved but not sure I'm doing it. The Mission Foods GT3 Cup is part of it. I think.

I would love to. However, changing data cards was the one thing I didn't get to do between races as I was educating the Scrut's as to what is an intake and what is bodywork. Some didn't like my scoop and complained you see. As a result I have half of Sprint 2 only before the card runs out.

I do need to thank Teo (martini 911) for his extraordinary skills in evading me as I nearly took him out. I moved over to defend the inside line and when I went for the brakes the sucker just didn't slow down. In talking with Sean later it seems there was something slick in that spot on the inside. I wasn't intending to pass Teo and he went off track to avoid me. I did go straight to his paddock spot and apologized profusely and he was very gracious.

I'm the guy in the blue car who was practicing my 360's in turn 1.

Cold tires wasn't the issue. The car on the right went way out to the right on entry, came in to his apex, and started tracking out. I started making my way down the inside lane to his left when he started moving left again. I had to choose between side to side contact or trying to tighten my line. My reaction was the latter and I spun the car. And yes, abs works great going forward, but not so good sliding backwards; it won't lock the car down. Dumb luck in letting off once the car started sliding backwards towards the wall, and Rich's well timed swerve, saved us both.

Regardless of the C4 car, I'm ultimately the one at the controls, and I would have felt awful if I'd have caused anyone damage or injury. Nice meeting you Rich, and I look forward to racing with you at Road Atlanta!

It is clear in the rules you are allowed to use a air scoop....

Exactly. I guess it wasn't so clear for others and they lodged a protest after we were done racing in sprint 1.

I am still not sure my scoop does anything to be honest. But the interest it gets was worth it alone!

Glad you ultimately emerged unharmed. Throttle lift when adding more steering?

Here is my sprint 2, or 9.3 laps of sprint 2. Was a good race until the point where the dragging front rotors have killed the performance of the car. A spin in 1 and a quick recovery leaves me with 5th in class. Just glad the little yellow car ran so well after being completely rebuilt other than brake and engine.

Nice driving Yonker
