Hi Patrick!
I am sooooooo disappointed that I missed you!!! It was quite a weekend, and I really wish I would have seen you at Willow Springs! I had some things come up late last week, and I really thought I wasn't going to make it up there at all...After talking to Steve, Don, Bill and the guys on Friday evening though, I decided to take a run up for at least a half day...I knew John, Keith, and a whole bunch of our FFR friends would be there as well, so I did the 4:30 AM run to the desert, and with Steve, Bill, Oz and everyone's help, I got unloaded and through tech just in time to make the driver's meeting....I did two really fun sessions with the guys, and had to load the Coupe up by 1:30, as I had to meet Bill and Norma at the Riverside Museum at 4:00 PM....The Coupe is now "resting" in its new home at the museum.....Next event for the #28 Coupe will be with Pete Brock and the Coupe Reunion on August 14-18 at Laguna Seca. I hope you are well!!!!

Just out of curiosity what times do the coupes and roadsters turn at Willow Springs?

That happens a lot. Karen is so fast that if you blink she's "GONE"

The Challenge Series record is held by Robert Walter at 136.5 (225 hp, 273 rear gear, stock Mustang/Lincoln brakes, Toyos).....My best time is a 132.3 in the Coupe (286 hp, 327 gears, Wilwoods front, stock Mustang rear brakes, very used (25 Hours used) Kumho tires)....A Coupe fully dialed in with good HP and a nice set up should easily turn in the mid-high 20's.

Blushing over here Ray....;.)

Thanks,
Being a broken down, beat up, tired old racer I am just trying to get a comparison to when I was racing my DSR. The last time I raced at Willow Springs I set the track record at 1:18.8 and held it for 4 laps until my buddy went in the 1:16’s.
