First session at Mid-America, the Viper is first by 3 seconds, we are second, and Devia is 3rd. Ian Stewart in the GT3 P-car is running very well, about 6_7 seconds behind us.
We need more power. The Viper is just a beast. But only giving up 1 second a lap is a positive. Still some issues and once we get on race pads hopefully Danny can go in a little deeper. The street pads are not inspiring confidence. Jon ran well. He ran a 5:16ish, while we were at 4:58.
Jon should have some good, video of chasing the mini van. The Van went off and Jon almost caught him.

Mid America probably will not be posted until tonight though...
The mini van took FTD at Mid America last year...

Yes Jeff, but don't forget he ran in the dry. Whule the top cars ran in the rain. It was pouring when I
Ran and was raining for the first 3 run groups. Then started to dry.
All is equal footing this year.
Only Smith, Myself, TC cline, and Tom Long ran in the rain and finished top 10. The rest was skewed by dry track. Look at the DC corvette guys video's from there. Not only is the line dry, the whole track was dry.
That is not an accurate description. That van is cool, and quick, but not a "fastest" vehicle.

Brody, both cars are having some teething issues. Ours substancially more so then Jon's, but we are getting them sorted. We packed a lot, just not race pads (another story) or a welder and steel. Dan had no rear brakes, the passenger door kept opening and he would have to reach across down all the straights to close it, and he hed to contend with passing Leh in the Caymen. On the exit of the chicahe before Kettle bottoms. While worrying about overheating as we had a relay short out from a rather wet and wild ride. Through chicago.
But the cars are very capable, with proper sorting.

wha happened to the racerjon saga? seems to have fallen by the wayside ? man o man there must be an ace of spades looming 
Hope all is well. Would be nice to see a 1-2 finish on the GTP side of things but it appears as though there is a large disparity.

From the pictures I saw it looks like both the Vanishing Point Charger and the Dinan M5 took some heavy damage at Road America yesterday.

Brother you can get away with that
Good news. I knew Jon looked strong out there. He was 10th. Moving him to 15th overall. We are still in second overall and gaining on Devia. The Viper is nearly too far back to win. We have a 150 point lead on him.
Dan Corcoran is 3rd overall. Our friends Mark and Stephen in the C6 Z are moving up fast after a 6th place finish today at MAM in session 1.
We should have some great Video of Danny catching and passing Swan in the GT-R on the outside.
Thanks everyone for your calls of support. We most certainly appreciate it.
More to come.

Yeah, the Goose laid an egg in the second round at MAM. Danny very uncharisticaly spun after trying the clip some curbing and the car just took off, he was back on it quick, he did also have some issues getting into 11. Still ran a 5:10 but the good news is that egg we laid might turn out to be golden. Devia is unfortunately having some issues.. And he ran a 5:17 possibly just enough to put us in first overall.
Dan Corcoran was his fast and consistant self, and you'll likely see a huge gap from the Viper in first to the second place car in time from the second session.
What a weird day. Devia who never has car issues has car issues, and Danny who's number of spins in a timed event I could count on 2 fingers spins out once and got caught up in a near spin in 11 that is probably the one you saw Jeff. The most consistant car and the most consistant driver have issues. Crazy.
But that's one lap.
Jon spun his goose too and ended up with a 5;34 I believe. Ian Stewart drove another solid race. And though I didn't get any times, I'm sure Mark and Stephen did well again also.

Yeah, my close friend and usual One lap partner in crime (that's not just a saying) EricVonHa is in Doug's SRT-4 with him and doing well. Along with the Schauts. Both cars are very capable. Would someone get him reinstated on this board?

I'm just glad so many people are now spanking the GT-R.
But the fanboys are saying that the driver isnt great.
But this is the same guy that went faster at Buttonwillow by a second than Steve Millen. And has the fastest stock Z06 time we know of on that track. I wonder which one they expect us to beleive.
There are only two choices as to what to beleive, Millen was sandbagging to run the same time as a average driver, or that Swan is a great driver hence the reason Millen couldnt beat him.
Can be one, or the other, but not both.

Well we just hit what I believe was an armadillo. Looked like what I remember armadillo guts looking like as it exploded. We press on, the SRT-4 has been running with us and they drove up in front and it looks like all is well. Steering seems fine, just one less rat with a shell in the world.
Currently running with the cap magnet corvette and the SRT-4 of Dougs. Car has been nearly trouble free today. And ran well for Danny.
