Johncy,thanks for coming out,there was a pretty good showing,we had a c43 doing 14.4's,a c280 doing 16.5's,an slk 230 doing 15.3's (think she trophied in her class),a c63 that went 13.3 with lot's of traction problems. I went 11.62 on a 11.64 dial in and broke out.Infineon is a rough track to get great times at,you run really slow at first then when the cooler air hits you really start making some power.I let my off on my last run and still broke out.I would've liked to do a late night night pass to see if I could match my 11.37 at Famoso last year,but that will have to wait.
