Was at ACS last week for an event with some coworkers. Ran some better laps than this in the morning, but the video was not on.
Re valved rear shocks are working really well.


I was having fun with this track prepped 911 throughout the day, and I was a bit faster. I let him by in the last session and got a little too aggressive. The rear end came out a littl more than I anticipates and I put a wheel off into a hole next to the track.

Ouch is right. Well at lest your no to bad off.


No passes. Just 10 very intense laps waiting for a mistake (unfortunately it was I that made them). When Koos made one. Ether I wasn't close enough or they were not big enough to slow him down.
It was 100+ Deg. So tire management and keep the car cool was a big part. Koos (#16) tires started going off first. But soon as I started pushing. Mine did too.
