Day 5: 468 Miles Mid America Motorplex

Woke up at 6am to lightening and heavy rain. The track was soaked for the first few runs but then dried out. That meant  that the slower cars had the adantage of a drier track. I was the first 2 wheel drive car so I suffered most from the wet track and a 30th place was the result. Not too happy with that.

The second session was dry and the car was superb. The setup was flawless, unlike my driving, but nonetheless we managed a heady 9th place and were the first Porsche. We beat heavily a modified GT2, Turbo S and GT3 as well as other 911s. I am very, very happy with 9th. Our overall place now has moved up to 35, but is still embarrasingly low.

We got a nice early start on our 452 mile drive to Tulsa. Had fun messing with the leading GTR and encountered two bad wrecks along the way, thankfully no One Lappers.

Discovered a new use for Hotel shampoo - it makes excellent bug remover and made short work of the mess below...
