Definitely a nice job on the trumpet Walt, thanks!
Please see the attached group sheets, Walt's car was not misclassed and ran=
exactly where it should have in group 8, the rules have been this way for =
30+ years. You may have different classes where ever you race which is fine=
and I just want everyone to know there was no malice involved classing Wal=
t's car. You may have differing opinions about classifications and that's f=
ine but the rules are the rules wherever you race and its always good to kn=
ow them in advance so you can be mentally prepared once you get to the trac=
k.

Just got back from a successful race weekend at Circuit of the Americas. I =
raced my 1970 TR6 with no mechanical issues whatsoever. The weather was a p=
erfect upper 70s to mid 80s all weekend. SVRA placed me in Group 8 GT while=
I would have preferred to be in Group 3 where other British car racers I h=
ave competed with were. My wife was with me as my umbrella girl and two of =
my grown children were there to pit crew for me. I found that the best star=
ting tire pressures on my Hoosier TDs were 26 front and 24 rear. I set my 1=
23 ignition at 32 degrees maximum advance while I normally set it at 36 whe=
re I live at 5,000 above sea level. I ran all three practice sessions on Th=
ursday the 6th to learn the track. Friday I ran with 41 cars in my group fo=
r the two practice races. Within my Group 8 GT class there were only a few =
cars which some broke and one crashed out so by the Saturday feature race i=
t was just me so I won my class by default. Same thing on Sunday. I kept my=
revs down to 6K so I would survive the weekend. My best lap time was 2.527=
which is respectable for me. The long straight is impressive and you reall=
y get going a fast top speed. I kept driving deeper into the braking zone b=
ut I was probably on the conservative side. On Sunday I performed a renditi=
on the National Anthem on my trumpet that Chris Botti gave me over the publ=
ic address system for the crowd and it was a big hit. Sunday afternoon I ra=
n the one hour long Endurance race solo with one pit stop to check tires, f=
luids and add fuel. My two children did a great job of the pit stop. 36 car=
s of all Groups and classes ran the Endurance race which made things intere=
sting while I was watching my mirrors for superfast cars to blast past me s=
uch as me such as a Ford GT, Lolas, Vipers and Cobras. I had planned on run=
ning modest lap times during the Enduro but the red mist hit me and I had a=
n awesome dice the last four laps with a very fast Porsche 356 driven by a =
father/daughter team. We were side by side through the esses and I could pu=
ll a little ahead on the main straight away but on the sweepers we were sid=
e by side waiting for the other driver to miss a shift or get a little bit =
loose but neither one of us slipped up. Going into the last corner (#20) of=
the last lap we were still side by side with me on the inside. We both dri=
fted through the 90 degree left hander with less then 4 inches between our =
cars and the Porsche went pretty wide over the second white line. We crosse=
d the finish so dead even I honestly don=E2=80=99t know which of us broke t=
he electronic beam first but neither one of us cared. I have mixed feelings=
about SVRA. During the feature race on Saturday a BMW 2002 passed me dragg=
ing it=E2=80=99s entire exhaust system which was kicking up sparks and debr=
is. I kept pointing it out to the corner marshals for the last two laps but=
he was never flagged. Also, $550 for the practice day and another $550 for=
the Endurance seem expensive but I guess that=E2=80=99s the price in the b=
ig leagues. The COTA track is awesome and I=E2=80=99m I=C2=A0 can say I hav=
e raced there. Overall I had a great weekend.
I have lots of pictures and GoPro videos to download and edit over the next=
few days. That will be fun.
