Good time at the ORP event 4 track day today, just got back and boy does that ice cold beer taste good.
Big thanks to the pre-grid workers, corner workers and all the volunteers that made today safe and possible for me to go drive fast all day.
Great weather, mid 80's I think, little breeze just enough not too much. Track was in great shape. I'll post a video of clockwise soon in case someone wants a refresher of the course and also if you haven't seen the new curbing and flag stations.
There was good attendance, the paddock was full, I wonder how it'll handle a full ICSCC race day.
funny story on my drive home: I stopped at MORO, its a small funky town a few miles out of grass valley. Went into this small grocery store to get a bag of chips and a drink for the drive home. Walked in, nobody at the checkout, no problem they'll likely be there soon I thought to myself. There was no one else in the store, so I mosey back (thats what you do in the country you mosey) and get a small back of Tims chips and a minute maid cranapple. Walk back to the checkout, still nobody... hmmm then I notice a bunch of money on the counter. A smattering of 1's 5's 10's in various piles like people just paid and left. So I walk to the back and yell, hello!!! still nothing, so I just made change from the money on the counter and left....pretty laid back town eh?
Anyway, I'll post and link to the video soon.... thanks to Star projects for a great day!!
