Great job Brian finishing both races, it was unfortunate that the other two Z had crashes.

We went by the paddock after the race Sunday but you were already packing up the car.

Good luck the rest of the season and hopefully Nissan's involvement will further the development of the platform and make it more competitive.

Of course I had to walk up when you guys were prepping for the shoot with the 2 models (which I will be patiently waiting to see). I at least got to say hi and exchange a handshake.

All in all, I'm pretty happy with how things went. The Friday morning practice was the *first* time that car hit the track. The weekend was basically a test session for us and we learned a lot so now we've got our punch-list for changes. Differential cooling is definitely at the top of that list. Handling will get better and we should see some moderate power gains. We had terrible corner-entry and mid-corner push and once the diffs overheated, the corner off was terrible as well.

And yes the girls were amazing. Meet hot waitresses at dinner and make them a deal FTW! Apparently we created quite a stir in the paddock with them - got the stink-eye from all the other flag girls. Huge kudos to Patrick McGinnis (HKYStormFront) who was our photographer for the weekend. Worth every penny.

And if you want more - go to the Winghouse in St. Petersburg where we found them. WOW. Puts the local Hooters down the road to shame.

On to Long Beach!
