What a great weekend! That was an awesome track and the car was well prepared and set up. Thanks Muddy.
I propose that we get together in the shop and have a celebration. Since I'm inviting myself to drinks in your garage, I figure we should at least let you pick the time and maybe we should do some work too. While working on the contents of the shop fridge, it is the perfect time to let the suggestions flow about what we need to do next since ZAE is a bit worn out after this race. I can start the list with tires since the set I picked were a little sketchy.
Also, here are some photos of the weekend in no particular order. Enjoy

Running ahead of the Geonome into the hairpin
Our best weapon at BS inspection
Great crew enjoying fine food and sunset
Those are very green shirts, with no dirt, so it must be the start of the weekend
Getting ready for our first night practice
Too much back-pressure in the exhaust, no problem -- we have the Sawsall
Running at night, where does the road go?
How does the Saturday, June 4 work for anyone around 11:30? The kids will be here, so I am sure I can turn this into a barbecue for the families as well.
