Thanks Patrick. I saw some of that in the videos you posted from the ACRA event.

From my conversation with Chris from the Shelby Club, we're running this version of the course CW.

cool picks Derek! Got more?

[lfot]

Those were the best ones I picked out. I'll see if I can crop up any more good shots.

What started out as a test to just get on the track for all 3 of us, the day turned out fantastic! I haven't had that much fun at the track. The Shelby guys are super cool, and a lot of fun to run with. Personally, I was on my A game today and was constantly throwing my car this way and that. The feeling was that of being "in tune" with the car in a way I haven't before. Can't wait to go back!

I love Streets.

Glad to hear you guys had a great time and drove home safely. Streets of Willow May 10, 11th. Put it in your calender

Glad you guys had fun today! Pics are terrific! You look like you're on 2 wheels there Derek!

After 2 straight days of party time at LBGP, I was too burned out for a workout at Streets today...

I think the guy in the Fiat X19 was having a ball. Sure looks to me like he pulled Radu on the outside (he he)

Derek,
I have some 22 mm front torsion bars that have your name on them!

very funny Jeff! Actually he was really quick! Excellent driver also, with 110hp@ the wheel and some 1600lb (guess) with 13 inch slicks...He actually went way wide and miss the apex.( probably in purpose so he can land on the inside of the track) I slowed down behind him, got on the throttle, did a much earlier apex than usual and cross his line for a clean outside pass.
It was a lot of fun following him though. That car was so incredibly nimble!

Yeah, that Fiat was quick! It's always cools to see the uncommon cars flying around the track.

Torsion bars? I'll have to get some rears then. Who wants to put them in for me?
