Red Cayman. No idea who was in the BMW.

What's the issue?

Correction. I believe he's Romanian. Fast drover. Believe he was promoted. :shock:

Correct on all counts.

no issue. He was parked next to me, and I've been his instructor before and recommended him for promotion to white. He's a really nice kid.

He does have mad car control skilz. I recommended him for promotion to black at the Shenandoah event. He got promoted, and afterwards he told me that he was driving at 9/10's when I was in the car, but only 8/10's when Brian was in the car. (smart move! :)

I know what you mean. I rode with him at Shenandoah and he was able and willing to drive close to the edge, 9/10ths to 10/10ths+. He rode with me too, and had some good suggestions. He needs to race!

He know's his strategy :-) He also does all the work/mods on his car. He has a FabSpeed race muffler and cats. Sounds great.

When he told me he was doing a Black checkout ride, I suggested that he keep it clean (applies to any checkout ride I guess, though for Chin Red they want to see 9/10ths :shock:).

Thing I noticed most about his car is how good the suspension felt (JRZ, IIRC). Really connected to the track, nicely communicating the grip at each tire. Makes the Cayman R suspension feel a bit lacking for track use, though I still plan to leave it as is.

Wow, yes that car was very fast....even in black.

Ok. Last Spam post about my door panels. I added pull straps today thanks to some inspiration I got at the DE Tech yesterday from Ryan and Charlie. I've really started to appreciate the grommet makers I bought recently. I'm not going to win any awards with this design but it's functional enough.
