I'm definitely down for this. And I'm claiming the #63 C9. It carries my number, it's my car!

Depending on Date/Time, I might be in for this.

Sounds good. I'll make what I can.

I can make Fridays.

What kind of times are we looking at for Laguna? I'm working on an understeering issue and need to know if I'm in the ballpark.

You're looking at 54 seconds.

Thanks DB
As I suspected I don't think I'll be all that competitive. Either I can't tune these things or I can't drive them, LOL. Either way it will be a challenge for me.

Good time last night! Car was a bit of a tough drive, but the race was fun.

Good time was had last night and thanks to those who showed up.

No problem. If you ever need a guy that can hang on in last, you've found him.

Turtle, can you please post the official results for race one? Thanks.

good stuff the other night, kind of frustrating, but opened my eyes to some stuff. i should have studied the track more - as well as mako's driving to try to identify a spot where i could pass, tried some alternate lines in a few corners to see if i could get around anyone. well played though.

That was definitely one of the more intense races I've run! Holding you guys off for 35 laps was no picnic. I knew two things going in; my car was not that competitive, and there's few opportunities to pass. Knowing that I would be starting near the front, I used the track to my advantage. I fully expected to be passed at some point on one of the straights, and was surprised that no one could pull it off. I know I frustrated a couple of you, but hey, that's racing!

Sadly, you will have to save your revenge for the BBTCC. I will most likely have to work this Fri, so will be unable to race. If by some chance I can make it, I will be there. Until then, I know I will be facing a challenge in the next series. Bring it!! I will be ready!

Good new: I don't have to work tonight so I should be there for the finale!

Bad news: I fully expected to have to work, so I have not run a single lap at this track.

Good news: You can all get your revenge on me for corned you off last week.

I might be working or just to tired from working so DB will be hosting. Good luck tonight if I shouldnt make ut there.

I may make the last race, I'll be in a 905c if I make it tonight.

Only DBF and myself were on last night, so we did not run the race.

We will try again next week.
