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.
One hell of a drive Cory- dead last to 3rd overall in the second sprint with little practice? And fastest lap of the weekend, in a borrowed car??
Not sure why you're not a paid driver in a pro series.

Cory drove my J Cayman #175 to a 2:21.5 on the test day with an extra 200 lbs in the car. Certainly a 2:20.X with the 200 lbs out. That time is faster than most of the GTB1 cars and we were on DOT tires. He's a stud alright.

Also as an observation, for a group of folks who are not supposed to hit each other, there was a lot of hittin" going on. I come from BMW CCA Club Racing, waaaaaayyy more contact. I wondered for a minute there if I had gotten into a NASA group. Chris

Same experience here. My first PCA Club Race was this event three years ago and I've been to eight or ten since. Very surprised at the amount of contact in PCA Club Racing, coming in from a variety of other groups. Not that the organizers don't try their best to inculcate the right blend of risk versus caution... Just hard to see the effectiveness of that message, sometimes.

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.
We were both unlucky as i only did 4 laps in race 1. Fuel pump went bad. What was ur mech problems?
You did a really good job on sprint 2, jeez 38 cars!! Great driving for sure! When i saw your 2:28 flat, i said to myself, i need to go out(enduro warm up) and try a 2;27, you put me pressure hehe
Race 2 wasnt good for me even if i finished 1st, tried to pass some H guys in front and ended loosing time.
Youre a really fast driver too.

Yeah I saw you roll to the Enduro on stickers, I ran the first race on 11 cycle tires. I thought, well we will just see where he goes. I later saw you beached enjoying the sun and racing. Ya gotta finish!
