This event might be a good warm up for those in the area planning on going to the later gathering at VIR: I can say that the 2 FR-500 entrants are also FGT folks on this forum, and I will be signing on before too long.

Joey,

It might run like I run my GT; but good old Mike L. can turn some laps. So can Woodard. And Gino. And Richard. So you may be quicker than at least 1 FGT.

Look forward to seeing you down there; and a couple days after in Carlisle.

No need to wait for VIR; the fun has begun; though the first half of the day was rain, and yesterday was at a slightly smaller track:

Pete -

Looks like you were the Big Dawg out there! I could see you carried a lot more speed into the corners when there was no traffic. Always fun of course to watch GTs gobble up asphalt in the straights too.

#33 should be in good form come September!!

It was fun; you can see the big puddle at the pit in section of turn 10, and a bit more exiting the carousel; and there was, of all things, a VW that I pointed bye in the last session, that was really turning some good times. I never have run that quickly with the instructor still in the car. My best laps were a good 3 to 4 seconds slower than last year. Already prepping for the next time out with new rotors & pads; will order new front & rear tires, and at my friend and instructors request, 2 harnesses to keep me planted in the seat.
Mike of PA and Phil of VA we also at the event, and you ought to make one of these as well, Kirk.

Gino was cleaning the road debris from sonic blue after a few hard laps . . .

Seriously, I will get him in the mix when I have a moment to sort the photos out a bit better. His car, and Daves, and Mikes, were flying. They are all very good on the track.

Pete,

All I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to you and Mike for showing us new guys the in;s and out's of VIR.

The track is simply spectacular, and I am looking forward to Sept with the GT Forum.

For those of you that may have doubts in going, I can only say that short of making the trip to LM's, you will never have a greater time that what will be at VIR in Sept. The facility is second to none, and the track personnel and corner workers..(flag men) are on the ball. I have a little experience on tracks on the east coast, this one has to be the best.

Looking for that video with us duking it out.....can't wait for you to post it...

Gino:thumbsup

Gino,

this is a ford gt forum. How would it look if I posted the video of you always pulling away from me? You do have one of the ultimate track cars in that FR! Of course, I would prefer the GT for both street and track. Here are a few more of the 'still shots'. The videos I have looked at so far are quite unstable as my tires, or at least one of the fronts, was improperly balanced; shaking my teeth and the camera severely.

And a huge thanks to Mike for providing the fantastic air conditioned rig with the huge awning to park out of the oppressive sunlight; and to Dave for showing me the correct way to exit onto the front straight on that silly off camber sweeping right turn; and to Gino for offering me a point bye towards the end after chasing him for a good 10 laps; and to Christopher and Jim for all their support as well.
