What a week! Congratulations to Erik, Dave, JP and Randy for an incredible team performance.
Erik and the crew went through hell to get the car well prepared and maintained it through adversity, and Dave drove like a programmed machine .
Conversation would go something like this after Dave warmed up with, say, consistent 2:07's laptimes:
Dave says: "I think we can get to 2:06's, maybe 2:05's". Erik looks at the Evo's times and says: "Dave, you will do 2:04's." Dave responds: "Egads!.... Hmmm....okay", then goes out a runs a string of 2:04's with the car visibly on the ragged edge . Dave would say things like "I used the wind in turn 9 (at Willow) to help bring the car in to the apex" or, "I timed a countersteer with that bump so the car would land straight" .
The Aero wasnt the only thing setup asymetrically on the car Its amazing the things you discover when you forget to check the tire pressure of the new tires on the left side of the car.
