Steve, I saw your post on this and was thinking about it, but can't pull it off. To bad you can't make it.

..... Well, ...still have no experience in giving the passing sign ....
Our group had flagging duty during session 1. I was at turn 5, a fun place. The first group to run was 0. One of the cars dumped what seemed to be his entire oil capacity from turn 7 all the way to turn 11! Over an hour later of cleanup, they canceled session 1 and went to season 2. What a mess! (lucky me that group 2 was flagging so we missed nothing)

So driving was challenging in my first run being that the light rain was now sitting on a very oily, greasy track. Was fun though!

I had one dry sunny run out'a four. It was like a completely different track every time we went out. Quite challenging. Never did use the new R compounds.

Think I may have blown out my front shocks. Will remove them tomorrow and see for sure. Too bad for me . Now I have to decide on either Konis or PSS9s . ....... we'll see... I do drive this car very hard, so I think the factory struts just failed.

Have some videos. I'll see if I can post them here tomorrow or sometime shortly.

MISSED YOU!

Here's a video of my last two laps in sesson 3. Near the end of lap one we noticed the people at some of the flag stations tapping their heads. Down the straight the second time we see it again and slow a bit, but decide to continue on. At flag station five we get the flag. Why? Well somewhere along the run my sunroof poped open a few inches. Go figure...
