I missed seeing Lisa, Anne & Paul this year.

Paul was there in spirit sending encouraging texts all through the day. He said I should be shouldering some of Greg's load, but it seemed like everyone did very well and did not need any hand holding.
We missed being there too. Seems like another successful event. Have not had time to watch any vids yet but glad they are all posted for later consumption! Glad no one had anything that prevented them from getting home. Keep helping each other and before you know there will be a tribe of fast S2K drivers out there.

We are working hard remodeling our new place and I have not had time to even clean the mud off the S from its last Palmer outing before we left!
Get all that work done by Sept 20th so you can come to Daytona and watch the race !! I have a good feeling that I will get an invite if I can stay in the top 3 in the Divisional series. Thee are only 2 races left and I don't think the guys in 3rd and 4th are running Watkins next w/e.

Not sure we'll be done as reno is extensive and I am the GC but believe me if you get the invite I am there, Anne possibly too. My mom has a place about 45 minutes north

I will be posting video soon.

Does anyone have video from the 1st INT session on Tues morning ?

Any videos from the Novice sessions ?
I believe I do have video from the first session on day 2. I'll check when I get home. Would you like me to post it up if I do?

And Aashish go figure I called every garage in town and nobody has stickers at the moment lol.


That would be great if you do. looking for some video in which Jake did his only run in Intermediate.

He was faster than 90 % of the Novice drivers and we really should have been in the intermediate class all along, but it just didn't work out that way.

Next time he will start in INT and stay there for the entire event.

Greg I have the footage but after looking it over, I never encountered Jake during that session. I can still throw the video up if you would like me to.

No worries - Jake was so fast that your camera probably could not even film him as he went by you in the #59 !.

I like this view. Should have followed you around for a bit. Really helps to see what I am doing right or wrong.

What happened? Hope it was nothing serious and no damage to drivers or cars!

Supercharge melt down and a leaky brake caliper.

All my track hours at WGI in my '86 911 but have considered taking my 06 S2000 someday.

Curious as to what gears are used in a hot lap.

For me in the Porsche, it was 4th gear all the way except for a downshift to 3rd for "the toe" and a little 5th before braking for the "bus stop".

What do you use in the S2000?
