You'll need your big boy pants for sure. Smooth, fast and fun.

I had a great time Friday and Saturday, nice to see you again and turn a bunch of laps together! I hadn't been there in 6 years and my driving is so much better now, I was learning from scratch it seemed.

Great seeing you out there. Pulled a 2:18 while chasing you on Saturday, that was only after I took the e-brake off.

Track was in GREAT shape. Weather was awesome if just a little warm.

Sunday I did some ride-alongs and even went out in the 1-2 group, damn that was painful. We ended up leaving around 2:30 on Sunday and skipping my last 2 or 3 sessions.

Only issue I had was a cracked rotor.

I also blew through a rotor on Friday, threw the spare on Saturday and was good to go. You pulled on me through the esses and coming out of the toe. I assume that is the AP2 torque because our exit speed in 1 seemed similar.

Good lap time, I was also in the low 2:18s which felt good for having not been there in such a while.

I would pull on you through the esses, I'm AP1 though.

I was fooled by the headlights, oops. I wonder if my wing was too steep, I haven't changed or measured it in years.
