R Gruppe track day at Willow Springs
I have 78 minutes of video and 114 pictures that I need to go through (so another post will follow), but the R Gruppe track day today was a great time, with great guys attending, and no incidents to speak of -- and more track time than you could shake a dipstick at. Rob Wolford and Mike Gagen did a great job of organizing things. The weather was perfect. The cars (of course) were amazing.
As I said, I'll post more pictures and some video later. But the short version is there were 21 awesome cars stretching their legs on 'the fastest track in the west.' The fastest of the fast was Jae Lee in his 350-hp widebody early car. Next quickest was Mike Gagen, who has managed in just a few visits to Willow to somehow get his name on the lease (he owns that track). I was third, but I'm going to need to really work on things to get any higher on the podium. :cool:

Great pics, Jack. Looks like a great day. Wish I could have been there. You are so spot on about Long Mike. What a ringer! I remember when he first showed up at the PCA-SDR events as an eager newbie asking all the instructors for tips, then promptly started kicking all their butts in no time. The guy could drive long before he got a Porsche! Some people are just "naturals" at it.

ps- glad your mechanical was minor, JR. The time before last at WSIR for me involved a missed shift and a new engine:mad:
