Looks good! But watch out for number 29.

Right???? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

He actually slept at the track on a cot overnight! Not sure how he got the massaged panels but he was in my group and drove pretty well. Was a nice guy too.

Wanted to also give a more formal nod to Merritt Motors in Kannapolis NC for the cleaning and resealing of the floors on the car. Jared is the owner and is definitely a car guy through and through. Loves F1 and has everything from a 911, to old school suburban with hot rod customization, to Bonneville salt flat cars. He took so much time to make sure I understood the process and was happy with the outcome. I definitely am.

Not sure how to embed this instagram video, but here is the car leaving Merritt.

Fair enough. But in my years racing it seemed like cars that had dents in the morning tend to have more (and create more) by the end of the day.

Definitely true! Fortunately this was just a passive open track day.
