208864While I work on Project Scope Creep, which is moving very slowly, I have been having fun with my daily driver - Little Red, the 2006 Saturn Ion Redline. We brought home a 3rd place in the 85-mph target speed class in the Loup 2 Loup open road race. As luck would have it, we picked the most competitive class (based on deviation from perfect time) in the SORC race and finished mid-pack.

We had lots of fun enjoying the cars, talking with old friends and meeting new ones. While Little Red is not a traditional Pro-Touring car, the event is definitely a great place to test the limits of any pro-touring ride.

Beating a Lamberghini Hurrican and a Porsche 911 GT3 were definite highlights.

Be safe and have fun! I will be there as a volunteer at about mile 5 from the north starting line.
