You're kidding me. You barely touched it!!! I see no damage (other than to your car). ****.

They replace any armco you touch no matter how lightly. That was actually my son driving on the 2nd day of the DE in the wet. He felt pretty bad but he was obviously hydroplaning and hadn't hit the brakes hard at all. I'm told the left side of that section is not where you want to be in the wet. Lesson learned.

Look forward to seeing you out there and SPBs are coming out in numbers this year. Some will be scattered in the garages but I (with others) will be in the paddock all together. Email me -> cd at feuer racing <dot> com - send your contact information and reach out if you need any help.

There is no sound limit at COTA right?

I had to hack together my straight pipes solution at TH the other week to pass sound and now Im scrambling to sort out what to run at COTA.

Great time this weekend. Thanks to everyone from Texas for making me feel welcome and helping me out in this first race weekend. It was great to meet all of you...

Great meeting you as well and look forward to seeing you again. Consider making the trip to Hallett as that's always a blast and has a great SPB turnout.

I just posted my two videos in the forum here:

Crazy weather we had but made it fun. Would love to see other's videos.

Please describe the weather. I think there was a universal hesitancy about going to Texas at the end of February. Did it rain? Was it cold? Do tell. Do tell.

Friday - Perfect. 72 degrees and partial sun
Saturday - Cats a Dogs and because it was cool - fogged up windows
Sunday - Slight rain for morning sessions and got sunny by Enduro time (1pm CT)

That's Texas for you.. it can be both winter and summer on the same weekend. Even with all the crazy weather - not one incident involving an SPB that was nothing more than a tire mark. Very safe track regardless of weather.

Im working on some video segments...But I was able to put together some samples of the practice starts. Remember, these are my first starts in 9 years. So to do it with a 66 car grid was a bit of fun!

Decent example of dryish to wet in a single race.
