today went pretty dang good.... we got a buncha sleep last night and woke up to a chilly morning...... the whole car was frosted over.... we hit the continental at the SUPER 8.... i made a waffle... it was pretty good.. Donnie doesnt like waffles.. or Subway.... im still not to sure about him yet....


We got to the track and about half the guys were there..... we unloaded and walked it... the 1st session went pretty good... we were 8th and that put us 4th overall.... the car is getting better.. we did a pretty big setup change since yesterday... and will do more to it tom morning.. i think....

the 2nd session felt good.. but im not to sure what the results were yet..... i would guess probably about the same.....

Davia is having ECU issues and is struggling. the Viper is very fast.. along with the Yellow mongoos. (thats almost crashed a couple times already)... there is a Black GT3 with Ian Stewart driving it and its going really fast as well.. he raced the car all last year.. its very well set up and he is really familiar with it.... he was scca champion and driver of the year or something... there is a blue Z06 thats fast also... and a couple other cars... Jon in the other mongoose seems to be running about the same times as us...

again.. we were the first out of the paddock and hopefully one of the first to get to bed.... right now we runnin outa fuel and cant find a gas station with atleast 89oct..... we have 850 miles to go to Texas from Iowa..... after a double session day.... i think today will be the longest.....

here is us leaving Tirerack with the 'rig'








the cayman front at Road America ... you would sware its a GT3 huh....









A very Enthusiastic Donnie bravo..... midnight gasfill before SLEEP... we were 60 miles from mid america but coulndt find a room..... We were in the first run group at Road America so we got out early... there was a crash in the 2nd group on their 3rd lap.... so they got to redo their run.. wich helped a bunch for them.. and was another reason we did so poorly at Road America..... they got 3 times the number of warmup laps.... we were in bed right after midnight.. and most of the guys we talked too wernt until 4am... and thats IF they found a hotel room......
