Nice meeting you all out there. Sucks about his FC though! And it happened right at the end of the day!

Got some video of the 20b fc and the Ferrari on youtube (infamousbkny). More videos up tomorrow of you all.

Lost the rear abruptly on one of the last turns before the straight, trying to cut around a cone. That particular section is not forgiving at all. The accident could have been worse, I'm glad we walked away from that.

I'm gonna try to inspect the car tomorrow to see what's salvageable, and if not, I'll do it when it stops raining this week. Time to look for another vessel

Robert, what was that place that repairs wheels?

With all the bad news aside, the car felt great throughout the day, was able to pass up a good number of cars, and net some very consistent times. The brakes are finally the way I want them to be... well, for today at least

I think I'm gonna be patient and try to get a real clean s5 roller, and build it the way it should have been done instead of being impatient a few years back.

And for reference, the skid started after turn 17, and smashed before turn 18 on the k-rail

Yeah Glenn... Who knows what would have happened to the car if I had not picked it up 4 years ago, probably would have been chopped and scrapped, but I picked it up and made it do what it was born to do... I'm grateful for all the fun and memories gained, and a life to move on with.

Wow Fris, your car looks very quick! Couple of questions:

1. What peak hp/tq does your motor make and at what rpm?
2. Approx. how much does the car weigh (w/o you in it)
3. What oil temps were you seeing, and where do you measure them (before or after the cooler)
4. What water temps were you seeing and where do you measure them (before or after the rad)
5. What air intake temps were you seeing and where do you measure them (before/after IC)
6. What fuel did you use?
7. What turbo and engine setup are you running (stock turbo, something else?)
8. What was your top speed on the track? You must have been at least 120 mph, looks like you were at least 3/4 thru 4th gear.

Thanks for posting the video, you car looks great

Also, so bummed to hear about Johnson, at least you're ok dude. Hope to see you tracking again soon.
