Awesome pictures... Digging the videos even more.



Whats this about needing a rollcage for the event? It's necessary to have cage for the event on November 18th?

Nope, factory roll hoops are enough

NCRC does the broom stick test, many of us don't pass

Here's my 360 spin in turn 1 on Sunday. Mistakes: 1) I went in too hot (you can't read it in this upload, but in the original video you can just make out that the speedo reads over 100 when I started to turn in), 2) turned in too early, and 3) made the mistake of trying to save it.
Not to blame the car, but I had also just made a suspension adjustment that made the car feel similar to what it's like when you overinflate your tires - very sensitive to steering inputs, especially at high speed.

I haven't processed all my videos, but here's one lap of me playing tag with a Z4M. Not as exciting as Martin and the vette, but still fun!

Finally, at time 7:07 in the session 4 video that Casey posted above is where I passed that white Ferrari pictured above. Always love passing exotics! I got to pass a Lambo Gallardo last time I was at T-hill.

Spinning into the inside of T1 is a very bad place to spin. Seen several cars flip doing that.
