Any traffic at all killed a lap. You would have been right there too without traffic. Gtr are faster than a gt3 for sure. Just not enough power on my end. I had you on the brakes but that was about it

edit: fix phone typos

In addition to all the thanks to Don, Sherry, Kelly, Jim, many thanks to Cliff for being our classroom instructor and providing so much information and ideas over the past two months during the planning of this event. It's only a day of activity, but there's a lot behind the scenes that takes place long before so things run smoothly, though its never a guarantee.

Also many thanks to Gary and Quincy who worked tirelessly all day to get cars numbered correctly and ready for grid. We were able to stay quite close to our planned schedule due to their work. And not to forget all of our advanced group who assisted Novices all day with in-car instruction. It was truly appreciated. Events like this work because so many NTEC members help out before and during the event whenever they're needed.

Glad folks had fun. It makes it worth the effort and gets us planning for another track day next year.

Cheers,
Mark

Had a great time out there today! Big thanks to Don and all the others who volunteered. Everything ran really smoothly and there were lots of first-timers that got the racing bug today.

I'm not even going to comment about the times. We weren't racing and there are zero reference lap times for the 1.3 from actual race drivers. I'm just glad I got almost 80 minutes of seat time and probably twice that instructing.

Totally forgot the best non-driving part of the whole day (for me). F430 Challenge car lapping with us. The sound was glorious...

I think it was 430 Scuderia, Challenge is the full race car.
