Your fastest was when you swapped to the Bridgestones :D . Nice run. I had fun today. STM was really close, almost a half second between 1st and 6th until Lucas dropped another half second off that. I hope you Ross boys get the Honda fixed.

Great driving JB! Congratulations to Mark for the win in pro, well done sir. Thanks to all the pros who gave me a good ol' beatin, hoping this pushes me to the next level. It's definitely a different game to get it done in 3. Hopefully the new mindset will reward me with a trophy finish at Bristol.
Great job to everyone who helps make our events the best around!

Well... the run on BS was raw fast.. but the car was not nearly as controllable as with the Kumho tires. The lateral grip is much better on Kumho and is the turn in. I tried a different approach to the bottom salom on BS and that made the run faster overall... but the bottom of the hill was sketchy at best on BS..lol

Awesome event today guys. Thanks for having me. I really wish I could come out and run with you all more often. That lot just scars the hell out of me :)

If anyone ever needs a slow codriver.....give me a shout. We might be able to workout a trade for a co drive in my car at one of the other sites :)

I think that was the first time I didn't chicken out on the turn at the bottom of the chute. Thanks Clancy. I hit the rev limiter at about 70mph about a second before I had to start slowing down for the turn into the slalom.

It was fun watching Mark throw the car around too. Unfortunately, I handicapped him by having too much air in the rear tires. It still wouldn't have as much grip as JY's car, but it would have had more.

After a chilly start to the morning it turned out to be a beautiful day. I thought we had a chance to break the record last event but the weather kept the numbers down. Thanks to all who helped out getting this event in the books. I also would like to say our Facebook Page came close to being passed by Kentucky Region for most LIKES. They got as close within 4 of us just before the season started. We are now ahead by 24 total 1,104 LIKES up from 900 last year. Check it out https://www.facebook.com/etrscca/

I'm in agreement with Chris... Anytime you want to hop in the Z06, you're welcome to try.

The lot scares me from time to time.. Like the finish this weekend, but your car scares me.. Lol. And I don't get freaked out by cars much these days

Pro was a lot of fun. It is a thrill to feel like I'm in the mix, even if I couldn't make it work today.

My latest theory is that Bridgestones that sat out all winter need some heat to get their feel back. If I had it to do over again, I would have been making tire blankets on Saturday night.

My Stones sat out all winter....they felt good to me!

I had a lot of fun yesterday. STM is going to be a great battle this year. I'm trying to convince Marcus to come play too, at least until he gets his car prepped more.

You don't have that 42/58 weight distribution. :P

Tires weren't bad, but they didn't feel like they did at #1 or Dixie. I was having trouble getting the front of the car to take a set and I could feel it improving throughout the run.

All those other events with big numbers were not at PSCC.

JB, thanks for posting your run. I saw a few places where I left time on the course. Still I am happy with my results.
