Gerald,
Great write up and pics. It was good to see you at the track and it's cool that you are crewing for the Ferraris. That was definitely a good weekend.
I'll have to say though, working start for Ferrari Challenge seemed to be more hectic than working for an 80-car NASA field. I don't think there was a car without body damage by the end of the weekend.
It was good when we finally learned that the sound of a carbon fiber rear diffuser dragging the track was considered a normal sound....saved a lot of radio calls from the flaggers.
Favorite moment of the weekend? Throwing the checker on the #8 430...and having him immediately go four-off on the front straightaway and stay there until brake marker one....while still dragging what was left of his rear diffuser (I think his rear bumper cover was stuck on the nose of a yellow car behind).
