I want to shift to third gear in the long striaght, that's way I am shifting at 7k rpm, it is more fun to me !
I am not a race car driver and I enjoy the way I drive on the track ! Lap time is not important to me, I did not time myself, but Jeremy told me my lap time was 1:13 if I remember correctly and some told me I had anywhere from 1:15 to 1:20 throughout the day ! I am on the track to have a good time and not to prove that how fast can a Scud do or how good I am ! Owning a Scud does not mean I am a aggressive driver and owner of a watch does not mean he or she will be on time ! I think the only group I let down is the owners of Queen city Auto Rebuild and Bel-Red Auto Rebuild !

as long as you're having fun, thats all that matters! its much better than keeping your scud parked in the garage and barely breaking 1k miles in a year...

Very well said William. We got a visual of how easy it would be to overwork ANY car out there. There were several S2K spins, I had the tail snap out on me very hard in turn 4, one of the Z's spun, and there was the NSX and it's slide. As I see it we're all out there to have a great time, and I was smiling all day. You can't see it in the pics for some reason. Must be the helmet.

So No Loti spun out? I need to go watch one of these one day. I'm scared of the track

The Scud sounds incredible on the track (for that matter so did the RS4)
I bet an R8 would be killer on PGP as well.

They certainly did...
No, the Loti were running very fast and stayed planted very well. I think I never saw more than a little shake from the back end of them. Peter and the silver one (*my apologies, no clue as to who's car it was) were right with each other time wise and it was fun to see them both push harder to eek out more from the cars in the corners.

(i'm still claiming the tires as my official excuse)

I thought I saw him go around in the back section of the track. Could have been another car, but it looked like a Z in the AM session.
