Random COTA pictures

The last shot is a picture looking through the glass floor of the tower observation deck - VERY COOL!

We had a big group from Houston travel over together, and we got to meet up with some friends from Dallas too. I was lucky enough to get picked to do a parade lap of the track with some of the Z's that made the trip.

I can't express how nice the facility and its staff are. ABSOLUTELY FIRST CLASS. COTA is the nicest racing facilty I have ever been to.

I'll post some pictures today. Here's some of the Doran team who had a big shunt on Thursday and managed to get the car back on the track. At one point, they were seriously considering pulling parts off of our cars in the parking lot, but were able to source what they needed.

All-in-all a fantastic time with great friends.

thanks Gurney!!! I was hoping to see some pics of the Doran Team! Looks like BJ had some trouble eh? How did they finish?

Doran Z started dead last because they missed qualifying on Friday. They worked their way up to 15th when a water line let go. They got that fixed, Tim got in the car and ran back up into the field, but they were laps down by then. Not sure where they ended up.

B.J. and Tim were super nice and even came up in the stands to watch the Grand Am race with the Z crew. Great weekend!

All of that for a $59 ticket!

Here you go with an early shot; we eventually ended-up with over 60 cars in the lot.

Oh BTW - I was third in line behind a Boss 302 and an F-150 when a wild pig decided to run out into traffic on I-10 going home. Heavy damage to the Mustang, mess to clean off and from under my car. Can't believe the bumper wasn't damaged, but there wasn't much left of Porky by the time it was my turn.
