Latest GBRS race - great F-body battle - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

This is Race #6 of the Grand Bayou 08-09 Race Series. Going into the day, I'm racing in the GTO class, just 3 points out of the class lead. At the start of the race, I'm on pole. As you will see, I quickly get passed because I was stupid and didn't protect the inside line. I was trying to run a fast line and get away from John Brannan in the 1994 Z-28.

See the spin on lap 13? Notice how slow I'm going for the rest of the race? Well, over half the tread on each rear tire (2 race old V710s) was still on the track. And, both had lost pressure by the time I got to the pits.

But, I managed to bring in a solid 2nd place finish. Even better, I regained the points lead! Going into the season finale (a Double event April 18-19), I'm 1 point in the lead.

BTW, that Camaro is for sale for only $12k. Please, someone buy it and take it out of the state!
