Default NASA VIR this weekend

Anybody else going?

I have some friends in the GRM event on Friday and I'll be there running TTS after deciding to move up and out of TTA (well see how smart an idea that turns out to be) on Sat/Sun.

Falcon, you get that thing fixed?

Look for the RAFT cars and trailer and stop by and say hi.

I got it disassembled and all the parts ready to reinstall, but I won't be there competing. I'll be there Friday as a spectator watching Danny set the track on fire. I'll stop by y'all's trailers.

Wally, give 'em hell on Sat & Sun. I see you're the only 'Vette in ST2, everyone else is FFR.

Just got back from VIR and watching Raftracer compete in the Grassroots Motorsports Magazine time trials.

Raftracer was running a solid 2nd to Tommy Archer in full on race Viper. Raftracer had a low 1:30.xxx to Archer's 1:28.xxx when I left. There was still a session or 2 to go before the thing was over.

Seemed rather disingenuous putting a pro driver like Archer in a full tilt race car against a bunch of amateurs in pretty much street cars.

Does seem like a ringer - but that is the nature of the game when bragging rights are at stake...

I don't think I would count Danny out just yet.
Knowing him, he will be able to pull 2 seconds out of his **** if he needs to.

The ringer competition will ignite and infuriate him and he will give it all his car has to give...if the engine performs at its peak, I also predict he will be on top in the end...
