Hi guys how can we encourage others to come out to race on Thursdays ? especially this week when there is a modify class and an IROC class, just right for any guest or someone who have not raced for a long time , and even so, we can separate all new drivers to race together , having 12 drivers would really be ideal . Thanks Ramesh

Sorry, I missed the meeting.
Glad to see Gordon's LMP car running well. I know the feeling. You like staying in the moment. Good job!
Luke I see you are getting back up to speed. :D . Nice to see you getting back to the top of your game.
Steve you are getting better. I thought you did not like the fast lane? Like you are getting to like the need for speed feeling!

Glad you all enjoyed it so when I get back at least you all can say you all did well last year!
That also includes Ramesh and Luke. LOL

Hey Arden,

Yes, you were missed at racing events but (we all) understood why - that you were busy with your work.

Good of you giving others (and me) such high racing recognition on the forum. Have to tell you though - I was always "somewhat" setting the kind of speeds I know about and at the top of my game ... In other words, I can be a force to be reckoned with (hehehe) once I can get the type of speeds with other drivers & their well built cars @ FRC :D

My AM and GT (but still no competitive in LMP) cars was always doing those sort of (mid & high 4's) lap times. So, must let you (and others) know - other than my normal oil/lube, tyre clean maintenance and some slight magnet adjustments, I was very surprised my Lambo kicked up such a storm but to me the real storm was Gordon's LMP (Lola Aston Martin) car.

His car was so fast - that while holding the lead, he was 3 to 4 track lengths ahead of pack most times during the 3 races. At one time, he even drove through LB's car at the start of the second race (grid formation) which is know as a first corner incident.

That alone, should also give you an idea how fast his car was going 8-) ent ...

Luke
