From the comments that could be overheard, the locals did enjoy a bit of a change from all the heavy iron they usually see at the dragstrip...

  

Tapp (25k)Video from SPC car

Here's Tapp ready for a run in the SPC project car.  Even though the car struggled for traction through first and second gear (I'm sure the 3 degrees of negative camber wasn't helping), the car managed to make it into the 14s on it's second pass ever.  Wow.

The Saturn-only bracket winners were Justin H (silver 96 SL2) and Jeff P (blue 01 NMC Racing SL2 - more details on his car soon...).

After a final meeting late in the day, we packed up and headed toward the next track - Gingerman Raceway, in Southhaven MI.

  


  
Porsche (23k)Cracked Porsche rotors (13k)

We stopped at a Cracker Barrel restaraunt for dinner on our way to Michigan.  While there, we spied a Porsche owner who was on his way home from a track weekend himself.  After swarming his car and taking a very close look, it's easy to see why many of us don't use crossdrilled rotors on the track.

After arriving in Southhaven MI, we checked into our hotel and got a good night's sleep.   It would be an early morning tomorrow as we start our tech day at Gingerman Raceway.
