My weekend was excellent. The SC ran very well and engine temps never went much above 210, even during Sunday's high 80s temps. I made good progress on my DE learning curve and got to drive solo for both Saturday and Sunday. Really rewarding weekend and am looking forward to the August event.

This was really a great event, as always, thank you to all who made it happen. I had ton of fun riding with several white drivers, and had a wonderful student that made my life very easy this weekend.

I also would like to thank Brian, Tuffy and Mark for riding with me and giving me wonderful pointers to consider, they all helped; thanks guys.

I liked the surface a lot; this was the most grip I had in T1, even with old tires. T3 was bumpier and took away some of the confidence, so was T4 (not to the same level though), but I did not have issues at T9. And two thumbs up for the bathrooms

Although the black group was crowded a little, the coordination between drivers was excellent that traffic was not an issue IMO; well except, few 944/964 guys insisting on giving the point-bys on the outside of T6 and laughing to your face all the way through the turn

It was great seeing everyone again

Oh, and thanks to Rich F. for letting me borrow his LS shirt for first session on Sunday. I hate forgetting to pack essentials.

I concur with everyone the event was well run and my appreciation goes out to all that helps put on an event of this magnitude.

I had my wife come out for the first time Friday and my son on Sunday. My son got to watch the skid pad and participate in the charity laps.

Thank you all for the camaraderie.

Brutal weekend for me ! Could not make it Friday, Saturday come in late to do a session and broke alternator and fan belt. Thanks for those that help me install the new ones but Sunday it happen again twice. I manage to do my worst driving since I start DE's I just could not get my shi* straight, still hanging on the 26's with a car that should be at 23's.

Good news is that Ryan drove my car with old tires and his times went from 29 ,28, 27, 26 ... OK lets giving some credit the man can drive!

BTW it was great to see everyone and kudos to the local PCA

Was a pretty good weekend for me as well on hoosiers with a qualifying, 2 sprints, and a 90min enduro from VIR on them...and they sorta made it thru the weekend but boy they didnt have any grip.
Thanks to Bob for some good pointers in 9 and 10 and for the check out to Red group. had a great time there all weekend
TOO much fun watching Ryan and Clark battling

Got some work to do before Pfest...hopefully ill see everyone out there

Also big thanks to Larry for coming out and volunteering while not driving, and for that matter to all other volunteers.

I think if the belt didn't brake ...25,24... Thanks for letting me drive! We should be good to go for the CR with a bit more practice each. I must say I struggled running from White session in your car directly to Red session in my car. First 2 laps out in Red, I was all over the place because of adjusting to difference in the cars.
