Likewise was a pleasure to meet you and all the other guys from Forged. I had a great time all weekend even though I usually like being in the drivers seat. But alas the job this weekend was track support and trying to get some time with my wife. Both missions accomplished. Alex made us all proud even though we had a whole new suspension on the car to finish dialing in. Big big props out to Robispec for getting us all the new suspension components on time for the event. Also all the cell phone calls from me at VIR to him as he was out at the SCCA Nationals. But all in all the new Clubsports are working like a charm.

Hey guys, it was awesome watching everything from the Grand Am paddock. The cars and times were impressing all the big name racers out there! A couple of them were talking about how unbelievably fast they were compared to our cars! I didn't get to see many of you on track, but those unlimited cars sure were distracting during drivers meetings!

it's not that easy to shave off that 1 second. Power and aero didn't matter much on the track, as you can see we all got beat by 170whp miata (that's a definately miata cours). There was a pretty much stock sti that ran 53.365, within .2 sec. from big power guys, SRT-4 has 400whp (rediculously modified) me - 400whp pretty modded too and the gray STi 370whp on Mustang dyno. This is a tricky course, that day for all of us was pretty much impossible to break that .2 sec to catch up to the miata, and believe me we tried real hard
