Martin,
Yes, they did change Turn #10 for this event. They have paved around it more and this time, basically made it a straight. I didn't like it as much as it took less skill and just made a faster straight. I believe it was done this way because of where we entered - to make it safer.

Turn 10 has been run this way all year at Fontana. Not sure why they changed it.

Did they run it like this on the "Sportscar" config too? I guess I will see in a couple of days, but I thought that it was a fun chicane.

Thanks, Martin. It was a really fun day.

Yeah "Turn 10" has been lost. I hadn't driven it since they paved over the area and wiped off the chicane. I loved that chicane and was a bit sad to see it go away.

Sure was a fun day. Sorry you missed it.

Nice video Dan. And a special thank you to the drivers in the Yellow Group whose extra courteous point-by's allowed Dan and Terry and I to play tag for the entire 20 minute session. Great fun.
