Anybody taking video at Willow?

[AGill]

Great weekend! I've been too busy with work up until now to get on here but enjoyed watching all the videos. As a first timer at big willow I can say it didn't let me down, by the second day I felt a certain flow forming between me and the track...a slow flow, more like molten lava but still a flow I must say...a heavy car on 200tw tires around turn 8 and 9 certainly increases the pucker factor! I was really happy to get a 1:39 in timed runs but I can't wait to go back so I can pick up another couple seconds!

Sorry again for spewing 4 quarts of oil all over turn 1 and sending blue smoke to the heavens! I owe just about everyone a beer I think Moral of the story...double check you oil caps!!! I ran 5 sessions without a problem so the only thing Ryan from RSR and I could come up with was that the cap was not properly seated in its detent and slowly worked its way off throughout the day until it went POP! I think about how it all played out and have to laugh a little. I limp into the pits after being out on the track for a long time wondering what my plan of attack would be with the car...fellow 993 driver Eric M. immediately hands me a beer and says, "here, you need this"...then Jackie shows up with Ryan from RSR and says, "here, I brought you a mechanic!"...then Ryan, the ever supportive trackside wrench helps me troubleshoot what happened and determine the car was fine after some cleaning and testing. Mike B. gave me a bottle of simple green, Rick S. gave me a hose and Lori C. rode around on her bike to find some water for me to clean my engine off. To top it off (hahaha...pun intended), Mr. Strong came to the rescue and let me buy a case of oil from him since I was clearly a tad low Thanks to all for a great team effort in keeping me driving!

Looks like I can't make if after all. Anybody taking video so the rest of us can live vicariously?

Russell - FWIW, that's not me that you're going by. I replace my license plate with a transponder for one thing. I think that it's just another GT3 that you're passing.

See you at Buttonwillow.

I was wondering if you could pass me if I completely lifted, but it turns out I actually have to be on the brakes for you to pass

Yes, I guess you're right. I guess all you black Carreras with red numbers look the same to me*.

Or

I knew that, but you already signed the release and the feature length version of the film has already been submitted to the MPAA in hopes of getting an "R" rating. Plus the other guy might want more than scale...

Or

I was wondering why your "rear" looked so skinny. It's a good thing the camera was off heading home on Hwy 138 (some would call it "evidence")...

Good times. See you.

* p.s. If you're missing a magnetic door number panel, I think Jackie has it...
