Major motivation to get my Camaro done!
Great job Jake! Every one on the local forums are so stoked with your car! Ron and Mike, your cars got major props too! There are more pictures of the "pro touring" paddock posted than any of the others.

Very much enjoyed meeting you and Tripp. I'm still spent from the heat and intensity. I just finished watching my in car from Mark's last session. He was hooked up. Passing Evo's and BMW's with ease. Nothing like a little GM HP. I was surprized at the many positive comments I got about the Elky from the track crowd. Got a feeling it surprized many folks. As Ron said the straightaway speeds are a thrill. My car will run 160 as it was setup at VIR, but I never was comfortable trying to get flat out. Early in my sessions I used 5th and saw 5,000 r's which is about 150, but I later found my laptimes were just as fast staying in 4th and topping out at 130. Thanks to Mark for showing me what the car is capable of.
