Richard, who were you there with? First time I have seen a car run that configuration, with the Turn 9a/chicane at the end of the esses.

Chris - That vid is incredible! Great quality!

Tom - The event was the Ferrari Challenge race, which is sanctioned by Grand Am. Same chicane is also used during the motorcycle races, although they move turn 11 up into the infield, before the standard turn 11.

Thanks for sharing the video Richard. Really cool. Love the way the downshifts blip the throttle. The way my feet work (or more accurately, don't), probably the only way I'll ever hear one in my car is when I own something with paddle shifters!

Fun track isn't it? Hopefully I'll get there in a few weeks.

Don

I am planning on doing this again this spring, April 13-15. Would love to meet up with some of the NorCal guys. This time, I'll be sporting a Capristo Level 3 exhaust

LOL. My 15 year old son said the same thing (in so many words). He's a GT4 nut and knows Infineon backwards and forwards.

Fwiw, he said it's a tricky track and you did a really good job!

Purists-shmurists- My next track car will have paddle shifters. Very nice.

We'll rally the Bay Area Pelicans (BAP) for a meet when you're in town Richard. Are you driving Infineon all 3 days? Or are you arriving on the 13th? Reason I ask is that there is a Trackmasters event at Thunderhill on April 13th and we usually attend those events as a group. Maybe come up a day early and join us? www.trackmasters-racing.com
