I know how that SC worked on Robyns car, i chased her down the front straight and had no luck at all catching her! Not to mention, Robyn, that exhaust sounds awesome...

My photos will be done this afternoon, I'll get them posted tomorrow. I had such a blast, so fun hanging with the crew and meeting tons of new folks. I apologize now for any of those yellow group drivers for which I scared...not my intention at all. Just figured since it was my second DE in this car ever, I was where I belonged...er... Sorry sorry sorry!

That's actually two GT3's and me. There was a third yellow GT3 but he was parked on the other side. It was quite a sight to see the three of us there.

The SC ran GREAT on the track. It was a real challenge finding the sweet "smooth" spot as the car has so much torque and hp now. I did very little shifting and found that even in third, the car had more than enough torque to pull me through any corner. It was so fast that I found myself bouncing off the rev limiter more than once! But, having a smooth delivery of power is so important, I had to seriously work at this in certain areas. I didn't have this problem before.

But, the next time I do go out in this car, I won't be holding back. I found my first session of the day was relearning the track, but then let all hell break loose on the last couple of sessions. Ken really knows how to push my buttons and got my times down significantly. I found myself going so fast through the esses that it literally knocked my socks off! It was awesome!

The suspension setup I thought was a bit too tight, however, with going out in a setup RSA, my car actually handled great! It really handled well being thrown around the track in tight situations like at Cotton Corners. Club Corner got faster for me as the day went on, this is where I had spun out in before with my Boxster. Lesson learned...DON'T LIFT!! I took this corner full bore...what a blast. The Riverside for me was a challenge...but I finally got a few opportunities to do it right. All in all, what a great day at the track!!
