Tyler and I had a great race that day.
Each of our cars had totally different strengths that day.
His car was so much better in the last section leading onto the front straight.
The draft was obviously important and my car was better under braking.
I never lead a single lap but I sure had fun.

It looks like I will most likely be racing the BMW at Fontana.
I did a compression test yesterday and I have a cylinder going soft. I do have a short block mostly prepared but no time to get it swapped out before then.

Going to test at Buttonwillow this Friday if anyone wants to join in.

I remember following Tyler through that last turn leading onto the front straight and seeing him slowly pull away through that stretch. He took a tighter line than most, very close to pit entrance.

Those rolled curbs in the kink will be important to be aware of. Some drivers like to hang right tires off there, but that might not be a good strategy now.

Last I heard, we have Charlie, Jim, Jim, Jim, Katherine, Tom and me. Is anyone going to try to get there Friday night?

Charlie,
I think you could be down a few pony's and give us second stringers a chance to race near you. What's a good and soft compression for these beasts.
I'm in 170-175psi in a Lower compression engine.
If you take the Bemmer we will make outcast you to E30 for banquet.

**Rain is likely in forecast so clean your windows inside and rain X and rain tires if you got em?

I will be RV camping Fri around 730pm usual area and make a few spots for us.

Any words from Team Robert & Raffie, Ein, or John? (I heard John was coming back this season)

This start was insane last year. The Kios in turn 3. Close battles from front to back. Always fun!
