GR.3 Saturday

[GT_brickhole]

I don’t know what my deal is. Hahahaha. Thanks to the room hosts for keeping their cool between room switches. Playing gran turismo specifically past 1030 is a sure recipe for me to pass out playing. I can stay up later. Just not if I’m playing video games.

I used to work at a racing shop/school on the property of Texas motor speedway and would work all day then go watch cars test (back when they tested all the time) in the grand stands and pass right out doing it. Race cars are my happy spot so it’s easy for me to get nice and comfy and fall asleep. Thanks again for hosting the event. My first few stints were good. my eye lids just got heavy....

They weren’t texting. They were live streaming!!! Texting is so 2012

 

[Nick Cannella]

Wow man. Yeah that is very dangerous.

You may be right still not good

Any distraction is bad. Even a hands free phone convo is a major distraction. We can all drive with our hands on the side of our face just fine(well one handed). It’s the conversation which is the distraction.

Thanks. Wish I could've done better. I ran wide and pushed Drummer off track the first lap. (Sorry Drummer). Slowed for him to get back by and never recovered. Y'all were on rails though. Loved the look of the 97. Clean, Sporty, and Classic.

Hell man, no worries! Rather race with anyone instead of racing by myself!!! Good times!

Great pix. Great race last night. My first podium. I felt very comfortable with the car and track and it was a lot of fun.

By not talking on the phone while driving with their kids.

Riding a motorcycle for a few years as a daily driver you would be surprised how many times I almost got hit from people being on their phones

 

[Rob Pardun]

I rode for along time and the same for me. Parents need to teach and enforce what they teach. And it not just kids

 

[Rinsky]

What a race last night. Everyone probably knows I love the Gr.4 class and I was so excited about the combo @GTP_Guido choose but even with all of that I didn't expect to come away with the win because there are some fast drivers in the Bronze Division.
But one must remain humble when you see the lap times coming from the top drivers in the Silver Division. @SAMHAIN85 a 2:28.014 are you freaking serious.

During my practice I noticed the difference between RS & RM was not a lot and I could get 6 laps out of both sets so I went with RS for the race. Then I decided to only run 5 laps between pitstops so I could take on less fuel and keep my pace & handling of the car at a faster pace. It took about half the race for that strategy to work in my favor and I was able to hold on to the lead from that point on.

Congratulations to my teammate @Infineon for bringing home 2nd place as that was one great battle between him and @IDreamInGT3 who kept swapping positions for the last two laps.

I also want to say thanks to everyone who let me make a courteous pass by them. This is exactly how I try to race and I tried to use my hazard lights to thank everyone on the track.
