Sunday was my last HPDE for the year. I met Cossie1600 too. He had his MB 370Z with a tiny trailer for his slicks and assorted goodies. Very nice fellow too. I wanted to talk more but between the little lady and a friend involved in an accident, I had to much too do.
My day was one of disappointment. It was the first November event without rain and in a club of 20 years, no contact between cars ever. This record was not to be maintained.
The first session was curtailed by 20 minutes due to a GTR losing a wheel. It sheered off. No explanation.
The second session was cut in half by a two car accident.
The third session had a 996 GT3 spin and hit the wall out of T6. Then a Miata caught fire. So we lost another half session.
The fourth session was the only uneventful run all day. Fuel starvation hit me at the halfway mark so I really must correct this situation. In the moment my fun time was getting used up.
I still had one session left but the wife was upset by all the carnage and destruction. When I told her I plan to stay till the end she didn't say anything but she was disappointed in my decision. So I rethought the last session, packed up and left.
I need to get a new camera. My Contour has lost too many track sessions. Today I lost two to the green screen of death.
A club member brought his new car to the track. A McLaren P1.
