Wow. The track was slick as snot. Not just a little, either. The day was very fun, very challenging, and just a little dangerous...

The first run of the day was so slick that I would lose traction just trying to accelerate up a hill. Spun out in turn 2 on my 2nd lap on the first run (off camber, crest of a hill, blind apex...). All the veterans promptly said that's my initiation to Infineon, everyone spins out there... It did give me a chance to learn the track at a mellower pace.

Had a Porsche blow an oil fitting in the second run and he spewed oil over 3/4 of the track before he heeded the flags to pit. 2 hours of waiting for them to clean the mess...

Ended up being a mixed blessing because the rain had stopped by then, the track was drier, and we all got to experience a couple of dry sessions...

Met up with Mike (Kiponator) again (Good to see you again!), talk with other drivers and have a good time.
