I was on track with Lester late last season at WG in combined W/B/Red sessions. There were other fast cars out there, but he stood out as being really fast. I was like "WTF, how is that guy so fast in a Cayman?!", so I tracked him down in the garage to chat, and was supposed to go out with him in his car, but unfortunately he developed a problem with a wheel and was done for the day. Don't think his car had much or any extra power, but his neg cambers were huge. I was at least able to go out with him in my car, with him driving for a few laps, then me driving. Really nice guy, and obviously a great driver too.

That is a really, really fast lap. He drove the track really well - at 10/10ths!

Nice job placing yours in the bottom center. Surround by others for protection.

Best of luck at Sebring.

^x2. Your car should be fine when the "Hey, watch out for that overpass!" moment occurs. Is that Dwayne's car in the sacraficial position?
