Default HPDE @ Night

I look forward to the next event since the weather is so nice down in South Florida.

One of my rotors was warped, so my braking had to start early.





BTW...Henry Gilbert was a nice guy. Everyone at the event pretty much was nice.

I was at the event, ran in group A, fast run group. I was in a yellow LS3 2008 coupe.

The track is very cool, but running at night is different. I liked it, the track is also very new and a little slick.

One guy in my group blew is engine ( white Bmw), I hit his oil in T1 went sideways, then it grabbed. Some video on Youtube will post it, my buddy in an SC Lotus following me.

Great goup of people.

Hey,

JD I do recall you on the track running very hard, this was my second track event with this car, just getting it sorted, need dot r to keep up with you and Rubin in the silver car and the forget about the breathless car, I was doing close to 140 on the back straight and he passed three wide like we were standing still. You had the museum stickers on your car and I recall customs seats, nice ride.

Mitch.

It is a full race car look at his site, it prob. has 600 plus hp, downforce, less weight. etc.
