Today we ran the high banks at Daytona. We ran the road course like the Rolex 24 hour race does, which uses almost all the main track and adds another mile to the infield and also uses the chicane or "Bus Stop" near the end of the back straight. Now that we are in another car we no longer earn points so I run near the end of the run groups. Also since I am not getting points and since this has not been my track car for a few years, I am trying to be a little gentle on the car on these events. My goal at this point is to experience each track but to not flog the car so we can finish the rest of the week.
Scott continues to do well and has climbed back into the top ten overall after Daytona and Gainesville. Congrats to Scott and keep up the good work.
Tomorrow we run at Circuit Grand Bayou about 60 miles west of New Orleans. After that we go to the famous Barber Motorsports Park outside Birmingham, Alabama only 429 miles away. It looks like the easiest drive we have had all week.
I just want to give a shout out and a THANK YOU to Ty Timperley from Glendale Wisconsin, and is part of the #19 team with the white Nissan GT-R. Ty brought his tools over and gave it a good shot trying to help diagnose my engine problem at Summit Point on Sunday in West Virginia. Even though it was nothing that we could fix I really appreciate the help Ty gave. It is amazing with One Lap that when someone has a problem how other rally to try to help the problem. A fix is not always possible but it is just great having people like Ty wiling to help, thanks again Ty.
