Day 2 sleep in after dinner with track friends in Atlanta

TRAKCAR · #81 07-07-2011, 08:24 PM

Yes, we slept in a bit :-)
Left Atlanta this morning, visited Goldcrest on our way out to admire their Porsche shop. Great guys.

Rolled into Indianpolis a couple of hours ago and filled up the truck. 929miles on 103 gallons. Not too bad for running around 80MPH loaded to the max...

It was an easy cruise today, the truck went up the mountains surprisingly fast too, Stopped for a nice fish and some lbster tail lunch.

We just went for a nice massage to get the kinks out of my neck and checked into the hotel and are going to get drunk now Gatsby's next door.

Carpe Diem ..

Easy 4 hours or so tomorrow before we hit Autobahn :-)

Pics to follow

Nasa is funny, no black flags, but they have an infraction list of violations you get briefed on after every session.

So far I've made it multiple times on each list

The rules are confusing for a dummas like me. Passing everywhere, except if a car has no 4 on it then passing only in no braking zones, except for last session that is open passing anywhere without point by for anyone......

Look forward to PCA Monday at Road America..Maybe our RS-es will be less exotic

Right now not too worried ->

There were a lot of cars being towed and they never black flagged us. Even during a session where there was a small grass fire. I could feel the heat on my face as I drove past.......we just kept driving.

I enjoy running with our local NASA. Good people, well run and fun.

Keep the updates coming, thanks!

((((((This is trakcar posting from izzones ipad.)))))

Things have taken a turn for the worst.
Forgot to turn on traqmate for my fast lap, realized it in lap 3.......

Izzone 1.369 (however still unproven without video)
Trakcar 1.371 (certified with video)

1 session to go before we load up, but cooler temps are history.

I ams ure there was a 1:35 to be had, but just no clear laps.
At least faster then Izzone (Barely) so all the stars are alligned again and all is well in the trakcar universe.
Arrived at RA. Looks intimidating :bowdowb: Tons of RS Porsches at this PCA event, so lots to learn tomorrow.
Just checked into the awesome Osthoff hotel and I heard the have a great bar downstairs, so more later.
