WOW!

I played hooky today and went to the track to walk the pits....will be at the races to watch on Sunday... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Spent some time in Lou's pits....he took the time to show us his cars up close, and show my ITE Corvette buddy all the parts he needs to kick my ass... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) ...thanks Lou! I told him to get moving on our crossmember! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Missed Anthony....went by several times, but missed you each time there buddy!

The GT cars ALL LOOK awesome! I have been following these guys for a while, and it is cool to see so many GT cars that are SO WELL prepared.

That being said, the Caddys ARE on another planet...went by to look and see the intake at the front of the hood like most cars, but the intake proceeds STRAIGHT DOWN INTO THE ENGINE BAY AT LIKE A 45 DEGREE ANGLE....CAN'T EVEN SEE THE MOTOR TILL YOU GET UP CLOSE AND LOOK DOWN INTO THE MOTOR BAY... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) The steering wheel is IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FRONT DOOR....THE SEAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE REAR DOOR... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) And the cars look like they just drove off the showroom floor....FLAWLESS paint, prep...they even had a P.R. lady there in nice shorts and tan legs answering all the "fluff" questions you could throw her way...nice touch!

Well as for practice....I didn't have a stopwatch, but will throw out some general observations that seem bore out by the practice times. I was sitting in turn 11, which for those that don't know Sears Point is a 30ish MPH hairpin after woaing down from WOT 4th gear and accelerating onto the main straight. The Caddys OWN THE CORNER UPON ENTRY.....they fly right in there harder and slow quicker than ANY car out there--PRETTY DAMN IMPRESSIVE. The Vettes seemed to OWN the accelleration off the corner...Phil, Leighton and Lou were MOVIN' off the corner better than any I could see. The Caddy's looked sluggish in comparison...I KNOW, I KNOW.....THEY WERE SANDBAGGING (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) . The Porsche of Wolf Henzler was ON A MISSION!!!!! He was FLYING! He was SO FREAKING SMOOTH...not the best in braking or accelaration, but FAST IN, FAST THROUGHOUT, AND FAST EXIT......VERY NICE DRIVER! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) I am no Porsche fan, but he was fun to watch......

As for the Audis....WHO'S SANDBAGGING NOW????? Been watching Caddy and learning I see.... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Oh, and I got to "bump into" and meet Little E....now I know WHY they call him "little".....he is a little shit.... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) He was the BIG celebrity....with two cops with him at all times..... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Hope to see some Vettes up front....GO LOU!
