Hadn't seen that configuration before. The three-minute course looks like the most fun, although any course looks fun with three feet of snow in the front yard.

That area's six to seven weeks ahead of So. NH, so buds on the trees sounds about right. They can't get here too soon.

Nice data setup, Bert. Still fast, I see.
Did you take the bolt cutters to the main gate? I didn't see anyone else around anywhere in the video. ( after a few more sweeps, I found 2 cornerworkers)

Hi John!

This was a Thursday VIR Club event. Only 21 drivers signed up, so there was little traffic and seven hours of open track time. Most of the club members do not like the North Course -- I thought it was fun for a change.

The car is all washed, clayed, waxed, and back into daily driver street trim now.

Speak for yourself - I'm sitting on 12" of snow and the rain is just creating a nice ice cap on top of everything. I need a heated garage to work in - my goal for next year.

i used to heat my hole shop with propane and these big ass infrared heaters along with forced hot air .
3 years ago i built this two barrel stove heater that i burn skids in . it took my heat bill from 500 to 600 dollars a month to heat the shop down to 60 dollars a month .now the propane is used just to heat the hot water and keep the place worn at night .
on the coldest days my shop is always at 70 to 75 degrees .
i have a cross draft spray booth and the wood stove will keep the temp at the needed 70 degrees the hole time i'm in there painting .
the skids i get for free and i can cut up a two day supply in about 30 to 40 minutes . for a 10 hour day in the shop i will burn 4 to 6 skids .
thor from moroso dropps off a truck load every week and the jobber (autobody paint store)i buy my paint from also drops off skids for me .
