It should be said that Jason did a great job in the school. It's a very
high pressure, busy day and he hung in there, completing a very high
percentage of the laps even with a car that was having a few teething
problems.
And he's pretty fast, too, right out of the box :-) He was out there
ahead of some cars which should have been quite a lot faster. But then,
that's the heritage of Team Zippy.

Greetings All.
I Took my new GT6 Racecar out for the first time this weekend. It was
the
cars first racing outing in 15 years. I had fellow FOT member Scott Barr
as
my instructor which was totally awesome. between him, my dad and John
Reed... my crew of three had over 50 years of GT6 racing experience
behind
them and it really showed. We took a car that had not seen a track in 15
years and were right there racing with porches, Miatas and ahead many
very
fast cars. We made all but one of the 8 sessions of a very intense MCSCC
Drivers School and completed 49 high speed laps. In one day of racing
we overcame a water leak, brake replacement, oil leak, a throttle
peddle stuck behind the tunnel cover, and normal race prep. On the last
session the rear end got so hot it melted all the bushings that hold it
in
place... the bushings were actually liquefied and dripping to the ground
when I got back to the paddock... which prevented us from racing again
on
Sunday. I'll be replacing the rear end tonight so we can go racing this
weekend at Grattan. I don't post much but FOT list and archive has been
a
very valuable resource in getting this car back on the track... Thanks
to
ALL of FOT for being there with you knowledge and insight. This weekend
was
a big victory for me and FOT. We are on the road to the Kastner Cup.
