I felt bad peeling off to pit when I did, there still was fuel but I was getting the "all ready" call, we had no agenda aside to salvage a noncompetitive day by doing a little R&D and having fun wherever it could be found.

Doc Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Anybody know who the photographer was that was running around in the media vest? No one thought to get his name or number when he stopped by our garage while we were working on the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If completely random, that is awesome! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr1vlet Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 (edited) Fast lap of the race for the GTD #202 Mustang (2:17.56). Not terribly exciting but one of the few clean laps I had. Would have been a bit better had I found the right gear in the horseshoe... I'm sure the car would have gone faster at night but it developed a miss later in the race and just wouldn't go any faster! This car was a blast to drive and shout out to car owner Joe for bringing the extra transmission to keep us in the race. We were creeping up towards the top ten and got to an eventual 11th before 5th gear expired somewhere around the 8 hour mark dropping us back into the 40s. I can't lie, I think the Mustang might be more fun than our BMW . Edited April 5, 2017 by gr1vlet 2:17, not 1:17... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If completely random, that is awesome! Heh, I found out about ChumpCar last year and was really excited to join you guys then... until I checked the schedule and found out I missed the race by two months. Whoops! After that, I put this year's race on my calendar so that didn't happen again. When they released the invites to prom, I got really confused. I think I had five people checking over the prom info and the ChumpCar website to make sure I wasn't confusing this year's stuff with last year's. I actually didn't go to prom this year! I went last year and had a great time so I didn't mind missing out on this year's. I asked if there was going to be anything new or exciting and got the response "Nah, once you've seen one, you've seen 'em all" so I didn't worry. I camped out at the track this year and a few of my friends stopped by Friday, Saturday afternoon, and Saturday after prom. Plus, I talked to them on and off throughout the night through the fence while they were doing karaoke in victory lane so that was cool. Plus, $45 for prom vs. camping for free - the cheapskate in me is always gonna win Really, the only thing I regret missing a belly dancer reportedly trying to seduce my principal 18 hours ago, bcakes said: I would like to see some Prom pics. I hope he includes a few of those. I got a few pics this year while walking up and down pit road and while they were setting up in the morning. Most of the pics are from last year but the layout/activities were the same this year. Here ya go!

gr1vlet Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 Some quality 'merican Daytona'ing - my full stint from 10:15 or so on, after the yellow restart: I was still trying to learn the car/shifter as I'd only driven it a few laps at Nashville Super Speedway a few months before as evident by my accidental 3-2 upshift at 13:45. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh damn. I tried to edit the title on my phone while I was out of town and something went haywire. I'll have to fix it once I get to an actual computer.

pintodave Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Do the Empty Pockets BMW guys hang out on the forum at all? Mike talked with them sometime after the race, they thought they might have caught the Lincoln carnage on tape... just curious if they had a chance to look yet!
