The tire below was the LF at the time. I think I could have finished the session had I not ran over something. That’s about a 1” gash. Went down instantly. Not fun.

I thought is was a model of Beamer.

I figured it was Rat Fink, since Blacksheep is getting up in years and he could have been reverting to his childhood slang. Of course, I admire the guy a lot as he can just fling tires around like a 20 year old, and I can only retire to my room.

Ok, so we have the Bimmer as a rat fink then?

Great race(s) by Sal and he was a fantastic mentor to this rookie all weekend. Was a pleasure hanging and learning and running against a skilled racer like him.
I got some more work to do to pass that guy next time.....

You have much to be proud of.
You drove with your head and did all the right things and learned from your moves and the moves of others.
You are only going to keep getting better and better.

That last pic is the one that gets me fired up. Comparing Frankenstang to the tube frame car, it looks like you've got better aero, but that's where the advantage appears to end. Congrats to you, your "team", and an assist to AJ for sitting on top of the podium consistently.
