Yep.

Max Papis was there in some kind of car like a Radical, and he was ~4 seconds behind the 1st place car.

Key words.

Mikes car is not 500ci. I think still a 427. And on A6, first time at VIR since DE days a few years ago. Not bad at all for only one day to re-learn track.

Congrats Mike, was nice to meet and talk with you. All I can say is a
1:58 in anything with that heat and unfamiliarity with the track is
some fast drying paint. I could kick myself for not entering event, was looking forward to competing with you Sat., hope problem with your car is a easy fix. Was able to run a 1:57.2 but VIR is my home track.
Mr. Flame, out of curiosity what is your best time at VIR?

I always get a little confused when I see comments like that. Is the target market for $4k wings and what is probably $9-$10k worth of aero parts or $20k+ sequential transmissions like you guys make the typical 15-25 year old that runs around playing with his cell phone all day on facebook? Or is it the 35-60+ year old business person that is busy making money and probably has little interest let alone time to spend on facebook to check out pictures of what their "friends" (aka people they don't even really know) had for dinner last night or see what someone wore to the club last night? Just something to think about....

werks,
We appreciate your concern. We find that most business owners are replacing email with facebook. I personally have seen an increase in orders over facebook messenger. It’s on almost everyone’s phone, and its usability is just getting easier. We can reach out directly to our fans and customers at the speed of light. Anyone that follows us will be the first to get updates, sales opportunities, Corvette Race updates, special promotions, ect…

If you want to see what I wore to the club last night, I’m sorry you’ll need to be my friend.

Lol! Skip the e-mail, post it on the forum, that is what I was getting at. Most of the hardcore guys or true enthusiasts find time to pop on here and check things out simply because it's a quick, centralized source for facts & information from a slew of vendors. Plus haven't you heard Facebook is on the outs, all of the cool people are moving over to Instagram!
