Planning on T3 footbridge outside the track at 11:45. My ugly mug will be in a BMW Williams team shirt. See you there!

I feel sorry for all you guys wandering around COTA trying to find each other while I sit here in the office watching live streaming.
Interesting to see the left foot braking as they run the twiddly bits from turns 3-10. Have to keep this in mind in March. H.(watching F1 w/o sound...meh)B. Edit: Upon further reflection; everybody in F1 left-foot brakes. (duh!) So let's make that simultaneous brake/throttle. My bad |

Did anyone catch Varsha's comment this morning saying that Austin would have loved to have had time to do a dress rehearsal with an SCCA Regional?

We had a great pow wow today with probably twenty folks. Hope to see at least that many Sunday at 11:15 outside the turn 3 footbridge. We will be near the big orange T3 pillar.

see you tomorrow, Denny, et al.

I was hoping to meet up Sunday with whoever showed. But, after seeing the mob of people near the bridge on Friday and Saturday, I decided it would be tough getting there (not that anyone would be looking for me or anything). Well I hope all those who knew each other had a successful meetup.
I spent most of the time near turn 11. It definitely wasn't easy to get around. Congrats to Phil Fogg. He drove a great race Sunday! Kurt Breitinger

"AUSTIN, Texas (Nov. 18, 2012) – Teenaged driver Madison Snow from Utah has won the 10-lap sprint for the Pirelli GT3 Cup Trophy USA West to kick-start race day at the Circuit of The Americas™.
After a false start it was Phil Fogg Jr. in the #40 Truspeed Porsche who pulled a brilliant inside move through Turn 1 to claim the early lead as pole-sitter Henrique Cisneros was tagged, turned around and rejoined down in 8th position. Snow, driving the #62 entry under his own name, was glued to Fogg’s rear bumper for five laps but took the lead with a determined move of his own up the inside at the tight left-handed Turn 15 and cruised to victory by a margin of x.xxx seconds. The other main interest was in a brilliant comeback drive by Cisneros, in the other NGT entry #30, held on after going into Turn 12 too hot on the second-to-last lap to pull off the pass on Mike Mills#41 Effort car for fourth. The Venezuelan was just too far back to catch D Duerson’s #27 NGT car for the final podium place." |
