But even more rewarding knowing that the driver (Gary) said there was easily another sec in his own driving at that level. Gary was literally tossed into our car on friday AM in the rain, he got 1 dry session yesterday to learn the car (thats about 6 laps, of which only 1 of them was a hot lap). Its impressive how fast guys like him can adapt to a setup and do what they do. He literally did that time with less than 20 laps in the car in total.

For the final session we decided to turn the car up to full power, as we had been running on our 29 psi (medium boost map) all Saturday. It was a decision I was making b/c until you put the car at that level in a real life scenario, you just don't know what it can/will do. I wish it could of made it a tad longer but that's how it goes at times. We were fully prepared to push the car onto the trailer to get an impressive win and record (which we did anyways), we felt we have pushed development to the point where we can finally feel comfortable not just playing it safe anymore and actually put our car at a top tier level with the top tier guys (like the fellas from 034 Motorsports, for those who don't know Christian is an amazing driver and that car is INSANE, go see how many magazines its been in and what its accomplished with Christian behind the wheel). So to pull off our win with 1.4 secs over him and that car, we feel pretty good about....we were both pushing each other as hard as we can. Christian reminded me last year he blew 3 motors chasing us and others, this is our/LIC's first catastrophic mechanical on track and it was due to a failed #3 rod. Pushing cars this hard, this far, its bound to happen....its how we learn to revise our parts and builds at various power levels (even when you're using stuff that is "suppose" to take the power levels one is running). Ask any other shop that competes as well, we all do it and have to in order to push development even further. We learn something at every event and the unexpected things that can/will happen.

We are happy with our data/result learned and earned this weekend, glad it ended safely, and all we can do is look onward and upward for next season (if there even is one for us).

I was wondering if it was the same one Lowend posted up a while back, the one that had a nasty crash and then was up and running again soon after. The one he posted a while back was a beast as well.

Also, it was cool seeing LIC and GST's car running in person, even though I only got to catch about 3 laps from each before they both went to the pits at the end of the day.
