Hey Todd, nice to meet you this weekend. Thanks for all the pics. I’ll post in car video when I get a chance, Osborne and I had a great battle on Sunday even though he was still having issues.

I learned a lot this weekend. I think most important was that I get my own crew chief/mechanic. Everyone there had one! :slight_smile:

It’s certainly nice. It was helpful this weekend when Carlos called the oil at the end of the back straight before I got there so I knew what to expect. Here is the video.

nice video, Simon.

WHo was that in the other red e30 (not Osborne - his is easy to spot with the electric vomit green on it :stuck_out_tongue: )

ok -

nice watching the battle you and Michael had going there - looks like you both set new records for the Pro Course setup.

Great seeing you guys.
As we were touring around on the ending yellow in the Sunday race my car started losing power & finally stopped. It would not start & had to be towed. After I winched it onto my trailer I saw where fluid was leaking out. Looked like coming from tranny. I haven’t felt like diagnosing it yet. It’s still on the trailer. Oh well. I’ll report more when I find out.
Later,
Tom

Tom nice to meet you as well, I hope your car is ok. I saw it getting towed in and judging from the amount of oil on the track I thought you had blown a motor or something.

On Saturday I did a 1.45.1 something and on Sunday I did a 1.44.7 something. Osborne did a 1.45.5 I think on Sunday but had car troubles all weekend. His car would lose power as the race went on, very weird. I did dyno the car and it was 150hp/150tq, which I thought was pretty decent for a 140,000 mile car. Honestly I didn’t know what to expect.
