Hello From Mid Ohio

[Brian Minkin]

The Glen event ended one session early with a cracked rotor.   And I do mean cracked,  front to back and top to bottom.  Then as I was driving through the grass to put the car back into the trailer I hit a sink hole and the spoiler which had been repaired from prior hunting expeditions bottomed out and bit the dust. 

I ordered new rotors and a new front spoiler from CA and had them air freighted in.  Order placed on Monday and the stuff arrived on Wed.  Car was reasembled and ready for the track again by Friday eve.  (keep telling myself its only money)

Trip to mid  Ohio took less then 8 hours.  Tony, I do not agree with your opinion of Mid Ohio.  It is technically more dificult then the Glen.  I have had the treat of learning this track from a professional instructor. Once you learn the fast line rather then the traditional taught line Mid Ohio becomes ballet on wheels.  Smooth and Fast.  Each turn setting up the next. 

Bottom line is that I think it rates as one of the top tracks in the country once you get it right.
