looks like ob prestige has run 220 in one of their lambos

 

That was my friend Richard in his UGR Gallardo TT

 

Hey Jeff check your RS... Nice to meet you my friend

 

Scott was nice to meet you also, your car was spining like crazy on first gear... Hopefully tomorow all cars will hook better

 

Found some videos on YouTube. Crazy crosswind in first vid!


Obvious traction issues:

 

i met the owner and crew 2 yrs ago in clayton ga. he was kind enough to let my friends daughter sit in double trouble for some pics. really nice crew and very approachable.

 

Yes very windy today, to cold for hooking also

 

Yes they are

 

Wow pretty lousy deal to go down there for a surface like that. Is it usually that bad at this time of year or is it just colder than normal this weekend?

 

I was just thinking about how upset I would be if I took time off from work, shipped my car down there and had those conditions.

 

Yes I was not able to launch well the entire day. Tried multiple tire pressures. Even when I did a rolling start from five or 10 miles an hour I spun my wheels anyway. Tried launching with both traction control on and off.

I bet I would've done better with R888s or MTs than my PSS.

My fastest run was at 30 psi in the rear. It was 160.3 mph. Track was just far far too cold to hook. And in one run in the morning across went almost blew me in my car right off the runway and I had to lift. good to meet you too Enrique

 

its a large investment for the promotor to put on these events. just about every event has a rain or shine provision since they don't get any refund from the airfield owner. no way to predict the weather in fl or texas when the mile runs in oct. some yrs its good some not so good. its a risk all racers take to get the chance to run as fast as possible .
every racer knows this is the way it is

 

Completely agree 100%. But it's like scheduling a track day months in advance, paying for all maintenance, insurance, etc only to show up and have rain or ice or whatever. It's understood that the event will occur regardless, and all participants know that, but still puts a damper on the excitement. I've had that happen and just drove the 2 hours back home from Lime Rock. Oh well it happens.

Hoping tomorrow's conditions are better!

 

Weather forecast is for 55 degrees high. Not great for tire traction at all. Right now it's 28 in Ocala Florida. But there won't be any wind at least. I had a huge wind gust Saturday morning that almost blew me right off the course causing me to lift.?

Was happy to see the car was much faster than the 650s and Huracan. There was a great looking black 991 Turbo here that trapped at 151. I don't know if that was the Cobb stage 2 with EP. Sad there were no Cobb stage 3 cars to offer some good competition

 

Yes racing is always dependent on mother nature and the cars working. Two of my friends who I came with had high horsepower GTR's (cars capable of trapping more than 200 mph) and they both broke down immediately. Made me glad I had my very reliable and "slow" 991 TTS.
