Grab a car, slap on a wing, shove some bits on the engine, toss out the interior and lets go racing!

I think this might be the first ToC that I've participated in since you took over, Feldynn.  I need to come out more often.  Was goos times.

Thanks Feldynn & friends!

Thanks to all who share the track I had some great racing with so many people that I am not going to name them off for fear of forgetting someone. But hot damn I had a good time. Thanks Feldynn this was a great time and running so close with so many people in world class cars on an iconic track felt like more fun than I should be allowed to have.  :)  ;)  :D  ;D

Had such fun just jumped on Netflix to watch Truth in 24 II. Am also looking forward to the Casual Friday tomorrow when we will step up to the GTP cars.

In true Tuna style I managed to make a slight faux pas in the original post LOL, I accidentally copied / pasted the standard Viper SRT instead of the premium SRT Coupe.  Didn't notice until after the first race when I realised everyone was in the '03 and I was in the '06, no biggie but it was funny  . 

Still it all worked out well in the end, cars seemed pretty even, racing was great, high speed goos times!  Thanks everyone that dropped in tonight!

Thank you Feldyn.

Apologies to those affected by my Vettes aero-lift in the 1st chicane ... and also to those affected by my sliding across the track because Grilled couldn't see me in the room, pits or on track.  I should have anticipated and corrected for that,  it wasnt his fault in the slightest.

I noticed the others were all "premmies" so I figured it was a typo and went the 2006 route myself. The car was red & black and beautimous.

Started in the Aston.  Loved the looks of the Viper so much I stayed with it.  As such, I never made it to the Vette or 458.  We'll need to reprise this ideas in the future so I can try the other two on for size.
