I wanted to share some in-car video of me wheeling my 2010 Cup around Auto Club Speedway in Fontana. It shows my Time Trial laps during the POC's Tribute to LeMans weekend. This was my 1st time at Fontana and 4th weekend total in the car (ever in a race car for that matter). Both hot laps are 1:42's. Still have a lot to learn and improve on... but I am stoked nonetheless. Enjoy!

Doing great George!! Shredding it!!

 

Thanks big guy! And newly crowned Tribute Champ!

 

Wow that looks like so much fun well done!

 

That looks fun! Were you dicing it up with the grey boxster during the tribute?

 

Thanks guys!

L8Apex, no that wasn't me. I am still working on my racing licensing...next racer's clinic is in Dec. So in the meantime, I only run TT w/POC. But fear not, next year, I will be racing. But there were some great battles during tribute... especially in the BSR class.

 

awesome, love straight cut gears!

 

Looks like a lot of fun, keep up the great work!

 

it was nice hanging out and catching up george. nice video and driving. see you in the racers clinic later this year.

 

Looking smooth............

 

that video is F***ing awesome, the crisp downshifts are a TRUE testament to why some of us still prefer manual transmissions...

I can't wait for my next DE event, great start to the season at VIR, nothing exciting till next month.

 

What times were the big boys running?

 

Here is last year's results:

This year, the leader was in an RSR (my bro-in-law, aka Killer Whale) and he did a 1:39 in qualifying and did 1:41-1:42's during the race. Other 997 Cups were in the 1:42-1:44 range with 996 Cups in the 1:43-1:46 range... these are seasoned guys... so my 1:42's are pretty legit for 1st time at Fontana. I am stoked! But turning a hot lap is different from racing.... and the POC has some hard core dudes... so I have no expectations once I start racing with these guys.

 

Nice, great job. I'm just starting my PDS at willow on the 18 and 19. Staring in my gt2 picking a cup once i get license.I watchd that rsr at the final race in 2010 poc. Amazing car. and looks like ur bro in law is pulling as fast times (if not faster) as James.

 

Thank you! The sounds in the ****pit of a cup are exhilarating. Nothing beats the row-n-toe! Manual for life... no auto-blipper here!
