The Dawg got a new Russ motor. Bill Lewis got a Bull-Schit or something like
that. What was the best gift you got this year?

 

I got two laps around the full 13.65 kilometer Le Mans track, the morning
before the Le Mans Classic event in July of this year. 

 

They are "parade laps", in that there is a pace car. But Roger Brotton got
enough speed to spin out TWICE on the track when he did this in 2008 in his
GT5-S.

 

They used to allow you to drive parts of the track on the day before the
race, but never the entire thing, and there was always the risk of a
speeding ticket. not with this present! How many times do you get to drive a
legendary track like this?

 

I'm pretty psyched. 

 

(my other pretty cool gift was an aluminum Fidanza flywheel. )

 

Happy Holidays all!
