Default Skittles at VIR

All we needed was a Signal Green car to complete the picture.

I was a great four days at VIR. Fun to catch up with some old buddies and meet a handful of new ones. Had a nice breakthrough on Monday and set my new personal best on the full course at a 2:06.3. Improved my time by 3 seconds. Will work towards a 2:05, but I'm not sure how much is left on the table. If anyone would like to look at my traqmate data and provide some pointers it would be much appreciated.

Thanks Peter. Sorry we missed each other. I got stuck on a conf call right after that session and you seemed to disappear after fixing Ramon's AIM system.

Congrats on the pb! I may have met you there last year at the June Chin event. I was in the garage next to you I think...red 997 GT3.

This hits close to home. My best track friends and I used to go everywhere together and were dubbed team skittles by others at the track days we went to.

The silver car was the obvious odd man out but it's gone to track heaven and it's replacement is likely going to be red.

Hey Patrick nice seeing you guys: you sure lit up the north paddock mid-center. I think the Track Monkeys could use some color tips from your crew:




We need a red yellow and blue infusion.

Cool pictures guys!
Dr911 your crew was fun to watch. The lady in the air-cooled 911 really made huge progress over the four days. Was fun to watch her in the green group.

Fritz used to have a Signal green GT3 RS and that would have completed the picture, but he has since sold it and bough a 6GT3 in silver.

I'll email you the files Dave.
