Cheater parts for sure. He can rip 12oz curls like nobody.

Wow. All the titanium not-withstanding, he's tuned on Scotch. Even Ryan cannot hide that kind of cheating. He is GTA.

Don't kid yourself. Think if this: you need to reach a point where you can pull yourself out of a burning car quickly should an accident happen, not just open a door and step out. I did the March DE before the Glen to find out what still hurt and what exercises I needed to create to be ready for a 90 minute enduro. By the time the Club race for the Glen came around at the end of May, 6 months after surgery, I was ready. During the prior 6 months I worked my way up with PT to a point where I was doing one arm pull ups on an incline plane device. All I can say is PT is essential more than once a day. Ice too. And, don't do anything stupid to aggravate the shoulder.

Spoke to my doc and PT persons yesterday. They confirmed no way I'm going to be ready for Sebring. also pointed out that HANS + belts would induce killer pain. My plan is now VIR DE as 1st event of the year, then Monticello CR and Watkins Glen CR.

That sucks dude , hope you have a quick recovery will see you at VIR this year

Besides that Sebring always has the lowest G class group

Dirk, you are like a combination of the $6M Man and Robocop.

Seriously boy-o, is there's any part of your that OEM??? Wait, never mind, I fear TMI is just around the corner...
