Sunday was "Driver appreciation track day" and I, as always was there. It was a fun and frustrating day. Lots of fast cars and very slow cars. The event had a few rookies and as usual some of the safer drivers were asked to take a rookie for a few laps of orientation. They asked me, little do they know. So for the first heat I didn't bother to take a video. Efrain Marrero was my "rookie" for the first 4 laps. We did 3 relaxed laps for him to become familiar with the layout, to see a few different lines, be warned where to be careful or be sorry, and the last lap to show what a Crossfire could do when driven at 90%. I couldn't help myself but kept it safe. I overheard him say something about pigs flying. (His car weighs 2700 lbs.) The second heat the camera didn't record. I passed everything on the track and played with a well driven Subaru. I can tell you that you don't want to be behind a 4 wheel drive vehicle with Hoosiers. They pick up and throw anything and everything. The lap I was behind him left lots of scars. I pulled off and saw numerous holes in my double tape job ...... damm, but a new best time. The third heat the video camera case fogged up and you can hardly see what it recorded. For this heat I opened the downpipes and was real low on gas so I was excited with anticipation. You just never know on track days. I was expecting real fast laps but traffic was horrible. One car I passed 4 times in 20 minutes. Not 1 clean lap and a foggy video. I spent a good deal of time behind a buddy of mine who runs times real similar to mine and ate more rocks. So my new paint job is broken in, a new best and no video.
