Good Job on the FTD congrats on the new wheels and tires makes the car look good. I Couldn't muster FTD for the Day Kinda Hard when there is a good driver in A Caterham on course I was within 4 seconds of him i guess

Thanks guys.

Our local courses are pretty tight. So seeing a vette on top kind of opened some peoples eyes I think. I'm going to have to work hard to stay at the top. But it's sure going to be fun to try!! I'm looking forward to running a few national events next year. I'm just trying to get as much seat time as I can right now.

As for the pad question: I'm running Carbotech AX6's and couldn't be happier. I have run stock pads and Hawk HP+'s and the AX6's seem to wear better and have better bite. Can't beat that

When I came back up to the tent to check the results they told me about the Pax results. I was sick. That last run would have slid me right in there

Oh well. There is still alot left in the car. Yesterday was like jumping on a whole new learning curve. Everything just happens so fast on race rubber. I'm looking forward to getting more seat time with the new setup.

Eric

I'm the other Z06 thats 8th in raw times. I was still on my Faulken Azenis for this event... my highest finish on street tires so far. Looking to have some CCW's and Hoosier's for the next event, so I'm hopeing I can give Eric some more competition at the top of the charts... looking forward to it for sure. And congrats Eric... good driving out there.
