Barely dipped into the 54’s and new PB, but can’t help but feel bitter/sweet. This lap had a yellow flag for a stalled Rush in Grapevine, forcing a lift and coast through Cotton Corners. Sadly, this was the cleanest lap of the day. Not gonna dwell on it - back at it this Friday with a private track day and a 50 car limit.
That track is so awesome i wish i could come and drive it one day.
Tom your driving is incredibly smooth for how fast that lap is. That really shows just how dialed you and that car are. Very impressive

I feel the same about several of the tracks in your neck of the woods. We need to start a foreign exchange driver program!

Couple new pics from last week’s @Mistaricky birthday bash. Some unique angles and cool lighting. Glad the photographer caught the final moments of splitter 2.0

Pretty happy with this one. Calling it the “redemption lap” after getting humbled by the Buttonwillow mud at the bottom of Phil Hill in December.

Tom, that might be one of the smoothest laps around CW13 I've ever seen. Congrats on the 1:53!

Agree with Ewheels, it appeared to be slow because is was so smooth. That is the Smooth Jif Peanut Butter run of the month!!

Thanks guys, very much appreciated. My kids will tell you that I'm constantly preaching "slow is smooth, smooth is fast". Works for the NAVY Seals, and very applicable to road course technique.

Not 100% sure on when or what class for WTW, but just felt like it was time for the next investment in safety. 138 flat out through T8 on Big Willow provided much of the motivation
Yeah, that'll do it, haha.Not 100% sure on when or what class for WTW, but just felt like it was time for the next investment in safety. 138 flat out through T8 on Big Willow provided much of the motivation
Good luck with the build and glad you're staying safe!
