Gaetano, we didn't get the transponder on the car. I didnt even think we would get the car onto the track truthfully. Vince was a little behind in his schedule as you know. We were welding the quarters on the night before and installing a new steering rack. We put in a gpxpro though to datalog, but I hear ya on the "no post, no proof". Maybe I'll decide to keep it to show you the tail lights in person

Friendly track fun!! I was really hoping the orange car would be there, but I was also hoping to run the car two full days versus 4.5 laps.

Promise there wasn't any smack talk in our pit over the weekend.

Bummer about your car. Losing sessions to due to meatball flags was bad enough for me. You certainly weren't the only one I saw benched prematurely due to mechanicals. I hate seeing that happen to people because I know the feeling firsthand.

Had a chance to figure out the issue?

I respectfully except that challenge my friend.

Just a heads up just in case you didn't know, NCRC rents transponders and Dave and Luke are more than happy to take your money for the transponder rental and timing.

No, I was at the hospital all day for my wife to have a procedure which went well and also really helped my lateral-g post count. There's nothing like 8 hours in a hospital with free wi-fi to boost post count!!

The car is still in the small trailer. I'm debating what to do with the car right now. I'll probably bring it back to Vince if he wants it!! That car gave him some fits but he has done a lot of really nice work on it so he might as well get to finish that work.

Keep the car. We need to boost the NorCal first gen track car count.

And you don't want to miss out on the September NCRC get together between the NorCal and SoCal crowd at Buttonwillow.

I included the before and after pit cruise for those that haven't attended a track day so they can see the entire in car process for a session.
