Ran the same consistent 2:12 / 2:14 laps.... Found a cut driver rear tire while checking pressures. Somehow the tire managed to "get into" the fender lip... so of course -- much investigation went on to figure out if something had come loose etc. Nothing had - and one of the very experienced guys said I may have experienced some spring wrap up/wheel hop while loaded or unloaded which may have caused the problem. The cut was only 8 inches long and the damage to the fender lip was almost unnoticeable. But the investigation etc took up most of one session. So only ran for about 5 minutes that session and ran 2 total on Sunday.
We wanted to take the "scenic" route - Hwy 20 along Clear Lake to 101 South then down to St Helena... So we all split after lunch... so it was a short day.
The car runs great and is far faster than the driver.
I spun in turn 10 after getting a point by - needed some more throttle to get by - then was too far inside... tried to go back wide - brake - heel/toe to 3rd and missed the shift - by that time I was too deep and watched as the overtaken driver blew by me... I did manage to keep the car on track... but of course the old "Will Greg Weld please come to the principles office" black flag was being waved vigorously...
