Yes it was a real heart breaker for Brian. Radiator tube split open (16# cap).
Brian and I started (26) races this season, we had (22) wins, (3) 2nds and that was our only DNF.
PAE cars did win (3) Championships that weekend. I won AIX (blue 65 Mustang in picture), Eric Fuehrer won AI, and Brian won Time Trial Unlimited (broke track record by 8 seconds).

Paul, that's impressive to say the least. Congratulations on an outstanding season. If you ever have time TMO members love race car build threads and we'd love to see one on your S550. Another member is turning his GT350R into a race car that you can read about in the thread below and I'm sure he could learn a few things from PAE.

Nice photos Nick, that top one will make a nice header photo. Who was that in the R following you? And from looking at the photos are you thinking about adding stiffer springs to your car? Was @StigsBaldBrother there?

Nope, not this time. I've been remodeling my kitchen. I'll be there in January though.

Pictures look amazing though Nick!

@VoodooBOSS Rick, That is Bill M -- one of the Chin Instructors -- fun session!

Re springs, there's more roll in the pics than you "feel" -- likely a benefit of the magnaride. If I wasn't building the race car I might try the new FP springs, once available, assuming they're stiffer than the R springs, but to be honest this car is so good I'd likely leave it stock for at least a season....
