Well, I finally got the car on track for some racing for the first time in 2 years. Mostly a flawless weekend in Super Touring 2 with wins in 4 of the 4 races. 3 in the mustang till it sprang a pretty serious trans leak at the vent and then took the wife's camaro out in race 4 for a win!
Grip at the track seemed lower than normal but matched a previous best time from 2 years ago which made me feel good about the weekend...but got slower all weekend as the heat rolled in and the track got slick and the tires went away. Did score a new best time in the wife's car though even though it was overheating and pulling timing. I think it's a good 2 seconds faster than what I ran but will have to find a way to keep it cool!
It took less time than I thought to get back in the saddle and find my "edge" but had to throw out all the doubts as soon as the green fell. Despite getting out qualified all weekend, at the end of the day I was on top of the podium. 1 fast lap is hard to do, but racecraft is the key to winning!
Anyway, had a great weekend and looking forward to getting back into the groove of hard nosed door to door racing!
