Don't know who finished where in each of those events.

It's 1:30am so I will keep it short. lol

Dave drove the road course
Mary drove the autocross
I was to drive the 0-60-0

The 0-60-0 was cancelled since thier people for the equipment didn't show... that sucked. So they added one more track session.

Fast facts..

Penny was faster on the road track than a Porsche 911GT3 on R888s.. by well over a second.

A driving school C6 Z06 with a good driver can do the track in 1:51.xx ... Penny's best lap was 1:52.xx

Mary is a freaking animal on the autocross track. She was VERY consistent. Kyle Tucker of DSE had first place by 2 one-hundreths of a second in the autocross. (29.5 vs 29.52)

Penny still has a LOT in her. We couldn't tune her so the part throttle fuel was all jacked up. The larger swaybar wouldn't fit and I found out the messy way that I need a better breather system.

Drove the car from CA to LV.. then from LV to the event and from the event back to ATS in Vegas... Sorta proud that I was one of the very few without a trailer.

Penny made me proud and I was very lucky to have Mary and Dave on my team.. and that's what this is, a TEAM win.

The last month has been a blur but I'm already planning how we are going to defend out title next year.

Oh, the Vette from CAR did very well on the big track. I think it got second place out there. Times and video will be posted later.

Also, I must of gotten nearly $5,000 in prizes (that I divied up with the Pozzi's) with the various wins (first track time, second place autocross, overall winner)... Didn't expect that.

It's a good day for the pro-touring community.
