    I'm out due to suspension "issues" from the NHMS race that I haven't been home long enough to fix. I wish I was going to be there but this is literally the first week I've been home since then.

    I guess this means Abhi will have to either hit Jeff or Dave.

    I am going to be running the Glen on Saturday and then start at the back of the field at Thompson on Sunday. Throwing on some sticky A6 tires and going for it. Car is going in for body work and paint after this weekend.
    I doubt I will catch up to either of them, but will give it my best shot.

    BTW, Here is the video from Rob Sturgis' car. It shows your suspension "malfunction" and ensuing spin at the 9min 45 second mark. You really got Bob Demers' attention there.
    7min 05 seconds is where we were bouncing off each other.

    Hmmmm. Maybe it won't be such a challenge catching up to me. Will depend upon who I can pester and keep up with in the field, such as Stephen. Unlike you, my plan is NOT to bring the car to the body shop. Just got through with that. May start back there with you. No fresh As though.

    At LRP, I used sticker As. One heat cycle and they got destroyed. Towards the end, it sure made the car slide even after I took some slower laps hoping to cool them off. Maybe they have one more cycle on them left, but two tires are questionable. Just food for thought Abhi.

    Dave, on my tires I am running (15+ heat cycle R7) I plan to be in the high 21's. Obviously rain will change that...

    I think would have a good race together! And yes NO bodywork :-)

    Alright, you gave me the extra nudge to attend. Now registered.
