Henry and I were having a great time - too bad it was just Friday, =
though four sessions, as the rain started Friday night, and Saturday and =
Sunday were really wet.  My GT6 is super twitchy in the wet, so I packed =
up and went home.
Be interesting to see if the cars are as well matched at Watkins Glen in =
a few weeks.
