Season opener, great weather. Freshened shocks with custom valving, Hoosiers from last season, rusty driver, but a win.
Thanks FFR!

I have some video from a point and shoot- wind noise makes it a bit unsatisfying.

Put a piece of scotch tape over the mic, kills the wind noise, leaves the vrroooooooooommmmmmm.

Most envious - still lots of snow here. I'd give almost anything for a track session (cabin fever talking). Enjoy and do us proud!

Damn warm weather guys! Snow has been melting for a few days and is only about a foot deep. I envy you.

Sorry, snowbirds, we have a lunch cruise today. It should be in the 70s. Pack up the trailer and come join us.

James, It good to see you are still around, I was asking what had happened to you over on the other forum and they said you had migrated over here. Always appreciated your help in the past.

No pics from the first event, here's one from the SCCA-SFR Divisional last weekend. Car was undriveable in the rain, spotted the competition an enormous margin. It was really really cold for around here, high 30's and the tires froze solid. Drove home an hour in the rain and the dark, no wipers. Fortunately it was dry on Sunday and I was mad enough from Saturday to make it up (just barely) for the Divisional win.

Really glad to see your post. I saw the question on the other forum about where you are and was actually concerned that something terrible had happened when you didn't reply. We wait another 5-6 weeks here in DC for our first event so you are a lucky man!!!

Wife's major surgery, and a 2 year old in the house. It's all good now. Nice to know I was missed, thanks!
