Great weekend! It was nice to see everyone again and always nice to meet a few new people. Have to be thrilled with the weather for this early in March, yeah it was a bit cold on Sunday, but I'll take that anyday over rain. And the track, especially on Sunday, had some serious grip considering the air temp.
White was a fun group all weekend...pace was good, and no boneheads causing trains or not giving passing signals. I do have to admit that White in Potomac is a very fast group, probably comparable to other regions Black group.
The weekend was the shakedown for my new engine, and I couldn't be happier. Absolutely problem free all weekend long. The engine builder told me to try to keep it under 5500RPM for the weekend. I behaved for the most part, but I just had visit the 6000+ area at least a few times. I actually matched my best lap times from last year while keeping it under 5500. I think that's a good thing. I'll also need a new chip from Steve Wong to go with the 964 cam and the headers, but he said I'd be fine to run the one in there now for awhile. Also ran a session on a new set of Hoosier R6's to heat cycle them so they're ready to go for VIR...I can see these might be worse than a crack habit (not that I would know
).
Nice to meet Mike Herman. This boy got a whole lot damn faster over the weekend. By Sunday afternoon, he was pulling me around the track, and causing me disobey my imposed RPM limit.
Thanks for the pictures }{. Man my car always photo's so shitty, and that's not a diss on you. Even when the pro's are at an event doing their thing, they just come out blah. I guess I could paint it a lighter color so it looks nicer in pictures...nah, f that.
See you all at VIR (if you're going).
