This weekend is Mid Ohio.........
I Love coming home!

 

Good luck! Hope you get some decent weather. Z should be strong there and it's your home track too.

 

Good luck!

It looks like the lap times are there most of the time. What's holding the team back from some better finishes? Any reliability problems?

 

A little luck wouldnt hurt.
It a tough series with some very good competition and it is only getting more competitive as they are doing away with the GS1 class next year and making GS2 the highest level in Grand Am Cup.

 

Good luck, BJ. You sure know your way around Mid-Ohio, so I anticipate good results for you and the team.

 

So you run Sunday at twelwe, right?
What about Rolex race?

It's an 5 hour drive for me, but probably I'll do it...

Good luck!

 

BJ is very fast and has lead every session he has driven in. Go to
www.grand-am.com and check it out.

 

Are you guys going to Mont Treblant, Que?, I could not make the Watkins Glenn race but I will defenetly be at Treblant, rain or shine. Good Luck at Mid-Ohio. That track is fast and it rocks.

Wow! Qualifying in GS II was really tight--about a second between the first 9 times. Too bad the tape delay broadcast is several weeks down the road.

 

BJ didn't qualify the Z. He is about 2 sec. a lap faster. If Michael can just keep the Z close to the front.........

 

Looks like problems again this weekend. I think they only got in 50 laps, I checked the Grand-Am site and they were unfortunately last in class. BJZ drove a GT3 to a GT class victory in the Rolex though! Hopefully we will see one in the Z someday! The race will be on Speed July 19th.

 

Congrats BJ on the GT win! Sorry the GA Cup race didn't go as planned........You definitely had the Z hooked up judgin by your practice lap times.

 

Great job BJ!

 

Thanks for the support.
The guys on the Schumacher team did a hell of o job.
The guiys on the Schuitemaker team also did one hell of a job. (confusing or what)
We are just bitten at the moment.
Michiel was doing a great job as he was up to 5th in GS2. An hour into the race the car went into failsafe mode and he had to drive around the track at about 10 miles an hour an 1800 RPM!!!
We came in a did a pitstop switched ECU and went back out and things went great for about 5 laps then it happened to me.....
We had to get pulled into the pits adn tried a ton of stiff but nothing worked. We pushed the car back to our trailer and began going through everything......all the sensors and the wiring adn then finally changed the throttle body......BINGO
Fired right up and away we went to finish the last 8 laps or so of the race so we didnt DNF.
Why the throttle body quit we have no idea but it did......I hate fly by wire anyway!
The crew did a hell of a job all week as we were flying.......I was able to get into the 1:36 range which is moving at Mid Ohio.....We are prety bummed as another race has slipped by.....
But we'll be back.

 

I believe you were the only one to get into the 36's in GSII. It's a shame the car crapped out cause it sounds like Michiel had it positioned well for you to bring it home. I spent Sunday watching Neal Sapp in the WC Touring race at RA. Neal ran well but was forced out with Carbon Monoxide fumes in the car & an oil leak......Pete C.'s NIMSO Sentra is a beautiful car. Watched the start of the ALMS race too. Man there needs to be a Z in the GT class.........BJ do you have any hats left? I needed one yesteday!

 

From the data ........1:35's were in reach......
ecsp on new tires!

 

Do you guys use Stack or another data system? That is one of the jobs I did when I worked with Genesis Racing. It is cool when the system puts together a therotical lap time.....

 

MOTEC......
ecclectic lap was a 1:34.9 that session
So a 1:35 was in there!

 

That's great news. When you get wins next year they will be overall!
