A nice time was had by all. The weather was frickin' fabulous... we couldn't ask for more.
We were all very fortunate... it being this early in the season.
Sorry I couldn't socialize with you guys a lot more, but Todd and I had our hands full with
the ReidSpeed Evo and my student. There was some serious test-n-tuning being done on
the car.
Glen is right, I had a ton of major mods done to the Evo over the long cold winter. Anytime
that much work is done to a car at one time and without the opportunity to test each item
individually, magnifies the amount of problems you can expect on your first day out on
the track.
Early Saturday seemed like we were plugging one dike hole after another, with the new
suspension, aero bits, engine mods, etc. But we were able to hold it together and
successfully complete the weekend.
Thanks to Dan, Dan, Glen, Bob, Art, Beth, Graham, Nick, and all the others that stopped
by to say hello and offer advice. Sorry we had our hands full at the time, and sorry if I
omitted anyone. And of course, a boatload of thanks goes out to Todd. Hey, Bob and
Darren... your cars looked and drove awesome! Congrats!
By the end of Sunday the Evo ran a weekend best 1:37 with the chicane, on old cut and
corded tires, low boost and with Todd in the car as ballast (
). We were pretty satisfied
with the results for the first event out of the garage!!
Now, it's back to the shop this week for some more suspension and tuning tweaks before
I can keep up with Dan and Glen. Some nice driving there, guys!

Several RTR folks in attendance, including six of us testing/tuning dramatically new setups (George B in the ReidSpeed Evo, Bob T in the newly wide-bodied and soon-to-be GTS3-dominating 993, Darren M in the Mad Max 996, Jeff C sporting new JRZs in his 993, Dan Y in the Dawe-ized regeared and ear piercing bionic 911, and of course my basically "stock" 993 aka Precious).
