It was a busy but fun week. Spent most of the time supporting our guys but did sneak in a little driving. My friend Joe T tossed me the "keys" to his car for the second sprint. I had a blast running up from dead last. Also had the chance to co drive with my imsa teammates jimmy m and mac m for the enduro's. Jimmy and I won h but unfortunately macs 997 cup broke a shifter before I had a chance to jump in. Awesome weather this year. Looking forward to the next Pca race in Atl.

Good for you. This was my second PCA race so trying to be on my best behavior. Then I stole your line through 17........ Sneaky.

nah nah you did good, this was my 3rd pca race too

what im trying to say is, i thought you would fly away on the straight line since you're in J class, i heard a misshift from inside my car when i was next to you... but i could be totally wrong

I was hoping you were in the GTB1 car! I'll have to look at the data, I thought I only had one shifting issue in the 12-15 area. Shifting on that car is pretty good. It was a ton of fun. Looks like you were the fastest F car, so there ya go.

You are sneaky. You got by me in the second sprint race and I spent the rest of it hugging your bumper. Thought I had you a few times but it was never enough. Good racing - you made it exciting! Although it would have been more exciting to get the position back!

Sebastian, you were fast all weekend. I had mechanical issue in Sprint 1, so didn't get to race and didn't have a time for the next race gridding. Had to start dead last in P51 for Sprint 2. Ran a 2.28 flat in Sprint 2, finished 2nd in F and 13 overall...peddled like crazy to catch you and passed 38 cars...super fun!! You have a great car and great driving! Would have been a great battle if we were next to each other. I figured you would see a 27 in the am...knew I had a little more with colder air.

It was great to race in the new car with the SPB guys. Holy cow the racing is close - no room for errors, that is for sure, and patience (that I don't posses) is the name of the game. I was quite happy to be playing with the front runners (Muller, Oxner, Gladwell, etc). Driving behind Gladwell was like having a private coach - great driver with good race craft.

Placed 3rd and 2nd in the Sprints, and was 2nd in the Enduro before the pit, and then had a seat belt SNAFU that cost me an extra 90 seconds and 7 places +/-.

Thanks to all the courteous and conscientious drivers in the Orange and black run groups.

Looking forward to Atlanta.

Nice driving!

You should setup your SC so you use Long G for the brake graph and the friction circle is 2 G instead of 1 G.

Actually, looks like something got disconnected there, Yonker! No RPM or information that was working last year.

We'll have to get you straight at Road Atlanta! Great driving, as usual.
