Thanks for putting up some pics, Marc. Some great cars there. F430, GTR and tons of GT3's...looks like a great day! I'm glad the rain moved through quick enough for you guys to let the track dry out, too. I'd love to see some driving footage if you guys have any.

No, this picture was of my wife with her silver helmet. Thanks for the photo. It was a very scary day folks. The track was very cold and damp/wet at many places. One of the 996 GT3 in my group on the first morning session bought it at turn 7. I have never seen corner worker waving three different flags - black, yellow and white with red cross all at once. Ambulance had to come out and luckily the driver was OK ... but not his GT3. I was super cautious and drove like a grandma from the get go but still spun out myself!!? It was that slippery. Luckily I did not hit anything except some worms on the grass lol

It was nice meeting all the 6speed members and Marc's GT3 sounds great with the sharkwerks muffler bypass My steel Cup rotors work great. Will post video soon.

Not even a contest as far as sound goes Alex. There are couple F430 out there and the exhaust was mute compare with ours

I got a real nice video with sound following Marc but I think Youtube is having a brain freeze - I could not load my video twice now

I love F430 Scudaria and I may get one in couple years but I have to admit Ferrari sounds great on paper but it's kind of underwhelming in real life. P-car is just so mean and purposely build. I can't imagine what parts cost for a Ferrari lol

No sweat, I am sure both Fern and Kevin can drop off and pick up your kids - plus baby sit for a day. Hope you can still make it

Roger that... Plus with the tracking you do, you'd need to have the valves set/adjusted after like 5K miles

That's more like it... I can't imagine how long it would take for sport cups to warm up! What were the temps out there that day? Brrr!

$$$ that is what is cost to track a F430

I had Nitto NT01 and it took about 3 laps to "kind of" warm up. The track temperature was about 35 - 45 F in the morning and slightly over 50 F in the afternoon. It was coooooold. Not much different than driving on ice lol. Summer tires like mine was no good. I should have use my PS2.
