Trying to get geared up. Heading out tomorrow mid-day.
Drivinhard is letting me use his scales since mine are broken.
Lots of rumors about folks bumping classes. Should be an interesting weekend.
Can't wait to see you and Alex battle it out for P1.

Heading up at 4PM. Bringing plenty of liquids. Looking forward to being on the track again. Wish I had a cool suit of some type. Seems like the TT field grew some.

More than anything it is just too hot.
I was just going to come out and spectate Saturday afternoon, but Laura needed instructors. I'm only 45 min away so I said I would help out.

If it rains it will only be a storm. It hasn't rained for more than 15 minutes in a long time.

I am not even going to bring my rain tires...doing TT. If there is one dry session, it erases all of the rain sessions.

Now, if we had a good steady all day rain, I am sure I could win TTU.

PS. I have DTC 70/60 pads for C6 z06 with only 1 day on them. Also four used C6Z06 rotors. Also brand new C5z06 XP8 front pads & some rotors.

Timbo, how come you're running TTU and not TTS?

Hi Jody!

The reason I am running TT is I wanted to try out the new brakes in a non-racing situation! Also was having ABS issues, did some stuff with the wiring, want to see if all is good.

The 18 inch wheels that I got with the brakes have hoosier slicks on them with some life left, so I thought I would wear those out testing the brakes. Not legal in TTS with my weight, so went with TTU.

Have another setup I want to test sunday which is your old GS wheels on front and Kodiaks on back with 17's. That would be TTS legal.

See you tomorrow~!

Tim

Gotcha! Those slicks should be interesting.

Let me know how those work. That could make going to those brakes almost affordable!

Finally made it - freaking traffic on 85 was horrible!

We got some stiff competition in TTS this weekend - a crazy looking Lotus I just saw in the paddock and Randy Mueller's wicked BMW driven by non other than Mr Grand Am racer Dave White. TTS this weekend will be a battle!!
