Default Congrats to spectator2, owner of the new TTA track record and Grattan

After 4 years away from the track Rob finally got tired of trying to make an old race car run and moved on. He picked up a '99 FRC a couple of weeks ago, slapped some A6's on it, and took it to Grattan yesterday for its first event.

After a tough day's fight against 5 other TTA entries he pulled off the win with a 1:26.796, beating the current record by 0.3.

Welcome back, buddy!

And no, he doesn't own the record AND Grattan, He owns the record AT Grattan. I really wish you could edit thread titles on here.

If he owned Grattan he'd probably let us race for free.
