Thank you sir! Yes I am, when just 2 won't do! :D

I live in the suburbs of Detroit, so Grattan and Gingerman are my home tracks. Mid Ohio is close by as well. I try to make it to each as least once per year.

Pretty windy day, 25-45mph head winds down the front straight and everyone was going 1-3mph slower than usual. Traffic made it a bit harder this day, taking about 5mph off the front straight top speed in this case. Not an amazing run either with lots of space for improvements. But every corner was taken at a decent to a good pace, resulting in a new pb overall.

 
I ran at Mid Ohio last Wednesday with 3 Balls Racing. I was able to set a personal best in spite of switching from Pirrelli DH to slower Conti G5000 slicks: 1:39.96. I love the track, high speed with a great rhythm!

Nice work! I was there the same day in Group 2!
What size slicks do you run? I'm running Ventus R-S3 tires in 275/35.

Went to Putnam Park for the 1st time ever- Unfortunately there were a lot of people there and lots of lap traffic. This is the only lap I had were I had a pretty clear lap. I know I would have gotten into the teens if I could have had a couple clear track laps. Being my 1st time at the track though, I am pretty happy with my learning curve on this track.

NOTE- the GPS MPH wasn't exactly refreshing very quickly
