    It was nice in the pits with a windbreak.
    Track surface was swept clean with new abrasive concrete strips added at the Corkscrew apex and at several critical track out points.

    New slicks were awesome, engine never got over 200 water temp.
    I walked up to the corkscrew and ran into Gilbert and up there it was very cold and windy.
    2 weeks before at the Ferrari day it was much colder, required beanies and jackets.

    Good eats as always, Tarpys, Baja Cantina and Monterey Fish company.

    See you there in August and September.

    After taking in the historic Porsches at Rennsport allow me to tempt you with some seat time at Laguna...
    maybe we both should take our 911's to the Alfa club Laguna Seca track weekend in October, 10-20/21.

    The GTO cars have been invited to field 34 cars at the Long Beach grand prix this spring.

    2019 Reunion featured marque will be IMSA race cars.
    I'd like to see a 50 car IMSA GTO/GTU race.

    Thanks to all the Porsche race guys for your help and support.
    Always pleasantly surprised to find Mark Motshagen on grid or in the pits at Laguna Seca, we enjoyed your company at Reunion!

    Pre Reunion videos in order.
    Great event with a safe, fast, fun and reliable race car.
    We ran every lap of every race and had no mechanical issues.
    IMSA GTP/GTO race group did not have one black or red flag in 8 races, just full and complete races.
    On track at Laguna Seca seems Sunday mornings see the most traffic.

    Pre Reunion.

    Nice Mike. Car looks great with fantastic history. GLWS. Corkscrew - aim at the second Oak tree then you'll be perfectly set up for the blind apex.... Video is never really able to capture that it truly is BLIND and the elevation changes. One of my favorite tracks. And Turn 9 is faster than you think, just takes trust to keep the speed up there.

    Thank you Scott.
    The back straight and corkscrew braking area all very interesting.
    I dont see the trees, I just get my left front tire on the apex paint then crank it right downhill.
    I do it in 3rd gear now, its slow but downhill the car accelerates fine.
    Turn 9 when you turn in the apex is behind your left shoulder.

    Turn 1 the blind crest left bend on the front straight, 5th gear 130mph.
    You try not to lift, looking at the sky I point the car at the tops of the distant telephone poles then over the crest the track appears under the car.
    I enjoy the track, last spring did 300 Iracing practice laps at Laguna on the home simulator.
    This winter hope to get 300 Iracing practice laps at Long Beach.

    Corkscrew without lifting,
