What a week! If anyone is considering doing OTC, I highly recommend it.

We started slow but finished strong. On day 3, we flat spotted a tire and corded another one. We then got a lot of help from the NSX community - first Jim Shen offered to lend us his A032R tires from his race car. Then Andrie offered to driving 250 miles to deliver these tires to us at Buttonwillow. Chris Willson also helped with OTC route/transit logistics.

After we got the new tires and sorted out our car, we placed either 1st or 2nd (in our T4 division) at all the remaining tracks. Overall, we finished 3rd behind a RX7 (Nitzan's team) and a Mini Cooper S (Yes, a team picked up a brand new Mini off the showroom floor and ran it in the OTC).

Had we gotten our act together earlier in the week, we could have done better than 3rd...uh, I know, bench racing yields very different results than the real stuff
