Team Continental from the MNW meet has a track day coming up in May. Very doubtful I will be able to make that specific event but would be up for one later in the year. We should get a specific date together for an 8club track day.

You guys missed out. It was an open trackday with no groups and we were going counter clockwise.

You smoked those Porsches - thanks for sharing! I have only been there once, and my car's engine was down 40 HP. I will be back.

Were the 911s going slow because you flew by them. Amazing how quickly you caught after entering the track. Did the splitter and wing work as you expected?

I was closing in on cars at that same rate of speed all day, except for a handleful of known fast drivers and cars. I was killing everybody on the corners.

Oh yeah, my neck is still sore from the G's. Went all the way to 10 degrees on the rear wing to balance out the front splitter downforce. Had amazing grip even on the 2/3 gear off camber corners.
