Details to come, posting on my i phone sucks and I need to get to work but we had another ST2 Win on Sunday and a 3rd over all, I ran a 1:36.012 on the club course on lap #20 on 14 heat cycle A6s (for those that wondered how long they last)

Matt moved to TTA because of a diminishing car count and pulled off a victory there.

Very cool I can't wait to see Todd's new car, I also heard through the grape vine we have even another Blue ST car coming this summer, that make 5 Maybe those yellow cars will come to play

Yes , I have heard about the "cheesehead" with the new to him blue car and some hack that got the trailer

They ran the "clubcourse" all weekend ?????

With all of the blue cars in this area ,we'll have to start running different colored flourescent windshield banners to identify the cars...


Great Lakes event posting to mylaps still blows a##.....They need to go to school.............

My car can be identified by the big gouge in the top from the tire rack coming unfastened from the side of the trailer and landing on my car, full of tires of course.

Wow that really sucks Ken!! Sorry to hear about the tire rack. But congrats on the wins!!! I'll have a busy couple of weeks getting the car ready for Road America April 24-26. Any of you guys making the trip?? I know Danny wanted to get back to RA from the One lap days. Hope to see some of you guys up here if not I'm sure you'll see Geff out at one of the cross-over events.

(Edit: Almost forgot congrats to Matt for his two wins also.)

It happens, at least it was the front that came off first so it only dropped about 6 inches and my roof caught it. That was enough support to keep the rear from ripping free. If the rear came free it would have ripped my wing off costing me a couple thousand dollars instead of a 4 x 3 spot on my roof that no longer has paint.

Blue is faster, you guys definitely need to make those cars I really have a problem telling James and Danny's cars apart in my rear view. I painted my wing red in the off season so it stands out a little more.

Great to see Ken, Matt,Chris and the rest of the Corvette gang this past weekend. They did a great job and turned nice lap times considering the COLD weather and track temps. I wish the car would have been ready, Ken and I may have had a good little shoot out in ST2 .

Was hoping to see Danny there to run down that CUP CAR for the overall. Next time!

Here are a few shots I got sunday of the RAFT Gang.

Yeah, you guys missed a great weekend. The track wasn't too bad considering the cooler temperatures and rain all day Friday. I tried my best to represent the Junior Varsity RAFT Gang (since the big boys were on holiday)

All in all I couldn't have asked for a better weekend. I'm now officially a NASA Instructor. (woohooo, free racing) I won 2 races on Saturday and I think I won TTA on Sunday with a new club course class record (138.4 in the morning session on my G2X but I haven't seen anything official).

The only low point was getting black flagged in the two afternoon TT sessions for my brake lights not working. I was on a flyer in the last session that I thought was going to be deep in the 37's when I got flagged at T11 Oh well.....maybe next time on some Stupidfast Tires. (nice plug , ahe Aaron? )

A set of tires from Hoosier, some Pfadt cash, and bringing a car home that only needs an oil change and some wiring checked out isn't a bad way to start the season.

C y'all at Putnam
