GT3 Cup Car Throw down.

The new steed.


No more disclaimers Juan.
It's time to dance.

That IS pretty. Will look good on my rear view mirror. . Maybe I should rotate my camera to shot behind my car.

And

so it begins.

A new era.

[ErVikingo]

Yes sir and looking forward to it. We had some battles in Klub Sport which were very enjoyable. Fast and challenging without shennanigans. Can't wait to race with you again.

Hope I can stay close to you. I gather this is a different Cup from what you raced last year?

FYI, there will be some additional Mission GT3 Trophy races in the summer. Ken will be sending info ASAP.

Frank,



Few of us have $55 Grand for a 2.5L twin-plug engine that will last maybe one year.

How about the 60k to 80k 2 liter engines that may last a weekend or two if driven without any mistakes. IMHO the lack of sponsorship, declining race entries, the newer "younger" drivers wanting modern race cars and the soaring costs to maintain and keep up with the "Jones's" put the nail in the coffin of the series.

60-80k? Lasting 5-10 hours? Wrong engine builder!

But I do agree with you, in spirit.

[ErVikingo]

and I thought my engines were expensive... + We get significantly more than 50 hours!

[Frank Beck]

I know!
I want some of that action!

[Vintage Racer]

Good choice BUT I sold my SWB. It is going to be a super cool car.

Wow. I'll be watching for it. Just saying. I will block the new owner. He isn't going to be as fast as you were.

Frank,
You need to give Juan a little room? You had ~5 Hours in a faster car just two months ago and beat the pro's.

You should at least give him a head start on the grid?

I feel like that I am the guy on the surf board with a bunch of sharks around me.

Keep going Doc. I need a break. This thing does not use a clutch to upshift.... Many years of learned behavior need to be switched off.

Juan,
I'll admit that I am one guy that likes the fact that you are now in Group 10.

I would previously watch for your car in the Group 3 race (my last memory):


Now, in the 2014 Mitty, you would have been in Group 2 anyway.
