Roland raced on the big track Saturday so he only had a couple of practice sessions Sunday morning to re-learn SOW.
Here's a video of Roland from the Sunday's 2nd session .
Enjoy.

I join in the Kudos to Jack and Robert. My first TT was an absolute blast with "only" one off (photo to follow) and a serious lesson learned as a result, thank you Steve G., and Jackie Corwin showing admirable restraint in not saying "I told you so" after warning me about everyone going off after the instructor gets out... Just don't let the secret out to all the AX'ers about how much seat time we get

This was my 1st TT with PCA and I too want to thank Jack Miller and Robert for a well run program. It was so much track time, everything was pretty much on time the entire weekend, well organized, etc. etc. Thank you to those that introduced themselves to me and making me feel at home with PCA(Paul Y., Bernie B. etc).
Thanks to Jack for allowing me to instruct my good friend Martin Lipp this weekend. This was only his 2nd TT and 1st in the GT3. I spoke with him this morning and he told me he was too sore to get out of bed because of all the track time. He was extremely happy that he ran his best lap of the weekend on the timed runs and hit his personal goal of getting into the 1:29s.
Congrats to Kurt. He was flying out there all weekend. I'll get you back this Saturday at the Q.

Tawfik, Cool photos, nice sequence.
Glen's mirror script should say "Porsches in mirror really are that close."
Here's a video of Erik chased by me.
Erik is in the blue car.
I'm filming from the green and white one.
Erik had his student and I think this was his second session ever at SOW.

Hey Mike, in both videos it looks like you are being dropped right before the esses, as if you are braking earlier/harder. Is it too bumpy through there for your setup?

What a wonderful weekend. Thanks Jack and Robert. Special thanks to Dave Gardner for some great instruction, and to Bernie Bogard, John Komer and Peter Busalacchi for riding along and giving me some tips. I guess they worked. I was sure I got someone else's transponder. Peter, I'm not going to give up easily. 
It was great to see the TT attendance so high and welcome to all the new drivers. It will be a great year!

Missed you (Martin too) up there, where were you?
No my car is really on the soft side.
When I follow someone through the chicane I give some extra cushion.
If I was in the lead I could fly through it ok.
Yeah it shook the car a bit but I was able to safely downshift to third and left foot brake then full throttle the exit of the chicane.
I enjoyed attacking the exit of the chicane.
