Rob,
I am not going to run the 1/4 in my GT2...too hard on the car. She took enough abuse today and I am only going to enter her in the 60-130.
I was going to 1/4 the CTT, but she won't be ready in time.

1) Do I want to go racing with a great group of guys??? - HELL YES
2) Do I want to drive to Texas three times (I am to do the Texas mile race which is the following week) in two weeks??? -AHHH NO!
3) Do I want to represent the Porsche family at the event - WITHOUT QUESTION
4) Is there a certain twin turbo Ford GT that I want to do some freeway videos with -ABSOLUTELY!!!
5) Do I want to verify my best 60-130 of 3.84 (chart below) - YES YES AND YES I DO
6) I was planning to drop the Supra BOMB on the event...Is she ready.... - BIG FAT NO!
Sorry..not going to make it this year....

I can already smell the C16 over here... Oh wait that was my VP jug I had to move.. Tomorrow hopefully will be the start of a bad *** weekend. Hoping on Sunday my little brother will make his first single digit pass in his Vette. Also looking forward to some fun runs between some fast cars!
Congrats on the numbers! Hopefully will be able to check it out tomorrow night at the meet.

Please come see me tomorrow night. I look forward to hearing what you were too polite to articulate.

Oh where.. Oh where could Dave Golder (sp?) be... He'd out drive everyone in his rental car, like in the old days (minus SW and a few others). Ahh TX2k2 and 2K3.. the memories!

Those are huge numbers. Ohio - are you and Todd coming to the 60-130 event at this weekend? If so I will make sure you get a special parking location. PM me and let me know. I know the track owners really well and can hook you guys up.
