Start with a couple that show 90% of my reason for being at the Nascar Nationwide Bucyrus 200, to watch one of the greatest racing drivers of all time.

Nope, not the big track. This is a GP Bikes track day at the development track (slower but technical one).

Will do. I'm doing 3-5 track days this year so I'll keep you in the loop. The organizers are usually pretty good about letting photogs do their thing.

Boo-urns! Mechanical issues after only 16 laps :(

While other LMP style cars whistled down the hill toward Moss corner, the Delta Wing was nearly silent. It had no issues rounding the corner(s), and powered away with just as much grunt as its brethren. I would have love to have seen how it did at the end of a long stint. I missed watching it spin, but one thing it does not do as well is turn as tightly to get itself back on course.

CTMP has gone through quite a few changes: new pavement made cars less likely to get into the tyres at Moss corner, but apparently has made doing so more common off turn 2.

Got lots of pics to go through from this weekend. I'm sure to find more Delta Wing stuff...

Wasn't intending to do time-lapse. If I knew we were going to stand in one spot to watch the whole thing for 40mins, I would have brought my Go-Pro to do it proper. Nonetheless:

Boo! No flash!

You'll have to follow the link then: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ofermod/9404145273/

Edit: Updated link... Strange, the full link works ok. The short link works only when I open a new tab.
Also noticing it updating in the quote. Cool. ... or not?

Doesn't need so much since most of the weight is in the back.

I think Gurney explained it best by describing a turning sledgehammer -- easy when you try and pivot around the head.

True, a principle Porshe has been running with, and criticized for, for years.
