I had a great weekend, it was the first time we've been out since MidOhio
last year!
I've sorted a lot of things (racecar AND driver related) since my last time
at Summit Point; I set a new personal best lap by 4.5 seconds- my GT6
really felt good. I pulled off early during my Saturday PM race with what
I suspect is a rear brake issue, haven't looked into it yet. Looking
forward to PittRace!
I feel bad for the Group 4/ Small bore guys; not a single full session all
weekend without a black flag all....including the enduro!
