LOL!

Allright guys, is there not a race this weekend?

Where is the pre-race discussion?
Who is racing?

Where is the enthusiasm?

Wish I could be there to watch the records fall as the new tire hits the pavement.

Ooo… ice pellets in Sunday’s forecast.

Robert swept the weekend.

Saturday in the dry and Sunday in a 40 minute near freezing rain fest that saw hydr0-planing cars all over the grass.

Sunday was over in one lap. I pumped up the field from the second floor deck of the pagoda on the pit out lap and after the start watched the chaos into T1.

All three groups went by pretty cleanly and then the silent pause …and then here comes Robert down the front straight all alone and already a quarter mile in front of even the Spec3 guys.

Congrats to Robert and to Paul for his first podium (Silver .357 car) and to the brave souls who stayed.

Unfortunately I do think we lost a car for good.

Thank Ken! Sunday’s track conditions were insane during the race. I didn’t expect to get 3rd considering I went off sideways in the brake zone of T1 around marker 3, but I did manage to get it back on the track and finish. Fortunately I didn’t plant my E30 into a tire wall, armco, or concrete.


#7

Awesome Paul!

-Martin

Can I have your old helmet? Maybe it will make me faster. :laugh:


#10

Well done Vic! Pretty fancy racing suit too!


#11

I keep trying but can’t for the life of me find the required PFC stickers on Vic’s car. I’m sure it’s me…


#12

uh oh!

Great drive Saturday, Vic! I was bummed we didn’t get the opportunity to duke it out Saturday but you drove well. Glad you’re back in the mix, a great addition in the paddock and on track!


#13

I dont see any NASA or HAWK stickers either.:lol:


#14

I’m having Gagliardo photoshop all my stickers in post-race. Maybe add some sweet flames, Z3 vents, and a baller wing. I hear the Porsche guys do it all the time.

HUGE thank-you to James Clay and Bimmerworld for putting this fun bounty together. I was sitting on my butt when this came out, and my car re-build had been collecting dust. This was exactly the type of motivation I needed to get out to the garage and turn some wrenches.

The last event at VIR was a barn-burner, as Palacio, Gags, Harper, and I all got a piece of the bounty. I hope you guys e-mailed James about collecting! I’ll be putting my $50 towards supplies for next year - daddy needs a new set of PFCs baby!

Robert, thanks for being a good sport about it too :slight_smile: You were Vettel-esque this year - just awesome. I can’t wait to give you a run for your money next year!

-Vic

P.S. I’ve still got a few “I didn’t beat RG1” T-shirts lying around for the rest of you guys…

Thanks for the kind words, Vic - it was an awesome year! Really glad you came back from your soul searching hiatus, I think there are going to be some legendary battles in the future. Massive thanks to James from BW for sticking with the series and generating some real excitement with the whole bounty program – keep that in mind next time you need to order race parts!

PS – Vic, I heard we’re going back to R888’s next season :wink:
