1:52, 1:53... something like that. Actually had my first beer today in 10 days.... so that tells you a little how I've been feeling which is why I missed Sonoma.

I was looking at that date too for a possible do-over.... but I'm confirmed for Laguna Seca July 16 already so that may be too close together for my schedule.... we'll see next week.

After many missed track days I finally got out again. Car had some new parts - Tilton 5.5" clutch & 800 series pedals, Woodward column (stolen from my Camaro!), and fire suppression. Everything worked good. Well, not that fire suppression thankfully.

Only real issue was when I killed it too many times getting ready to get on track for 1st session that I overcooked the battery on the starting grid and had to get towed back to the paddock for a jump.

Nice save(s)! Glad to see the Sonoma day went off without too many hitches, short of yellow cars in the way . . . SpeedSF still owes me a shirt.

Thanks! She can be a slider with my horribly unsmooth input skills (as Rob would say).

I had some good fun with a Viper in the previous session. The 2019 Ford GT in my run group seemed to be doing parade laps.

I got me 2 of their t shirts.... this time was free. Sorry not sorry.
