Rain? What is that? Me and Jason are going to have a blast next weekend at Streets of Willow in 100 degree weather...

Yeah. A furnace blast. Lol
I set up my cool shirt system to add my passenger. We'll both be staying in the car all day. 🤣
Actually...I can pull it out of the car and run it in the truck. I planned ahead.

Should be interesting. Last time I was dumb and forgot an ice chest. This time we're taking four big 'ol chests full of ice 🤣

So did an event at Lime Rock on Monday. Hood vent warped from the heat. Working with the company right now. They sent out a replacement already. If it warps again, I'll ask for the full CF version and paint it black.

Not looking forward to pulling the vent off the hood that is for sure.

That's good to know. Last time I looked we only had two other people in my group.
Taking a free win is nothing to complain about! We should all get something for bearing that heat
A little birdie told me that when Tony Jackson found out I was running he didn't want to lose his tie points lead so signed up lol.

Yep looks like you are up to 5 total for B3. Sad there isn't anyone else in my class.... guess I'll just have to try to beat your best time! Hopefully we can both lay down better times then this Tony dude.

Haha I'm hoping!. And yeah... After hearing how much faster you were going through certain sections (Vegas)....I really want to put aero on the car.
Maybe next year.
You should be super fast on this course. Lots of places for the car to work it's magic.
I can't wait to see!
Good luck and see ya Saturday!
