The one thing I know @JohnCh noted but no one else has is the new style wheels your Caterham is being delivered with. Sort of BMW M3 looking style.

The pro photos from Mike Woellner will be available in a few weeks and I will upload them then to the gallery section of the USA7s site and link them here.

Its Barney! I like the color - sharp looking.

By the way, the Brabham was driven by a top driver - Bobby Brown - former Can Am and F5000 racer. I stopped to chat with him (he's my neighbor) as I was driving out Monday afternoon. He was chuckling at having weaved through the sevens group on Sunday. 2012 SVRA Driver of the Year: Bobby Brown

Turns out it was mine. Could not find it when packing up in the pits and I assumed it was in the garage somehow. Nice find. I am definitely not good enough to drive a 1999 Williams F1 car. Proved it driving a 1970s Arrows F1 car.

The end of the day. Back to the pits to pack up.

Lots of laughs and banter in the pits today. But others found all the activity exhausting.

A short video to give you a taste.

Some more photos of the 1999 Williams F1 car that was working up this weekend. A short video from the Devil section is in a subsequent post below to get an idea of the engine wail. It was limited to 15000rpm instead of its redline of 17000rpm while the happy owner started to get up to speed with driving it.

Today we gained Jeremy who is running a Lotus 7 S2. Slightly spectacular oil leak for session 1 - now supposedly fixed.

Photos of Day 2.

What is a clowder? Is that a chowder with a lisp? Or was it an autocorrect fail referring to a cross flow?

I got told as people were driving out of the garage. Bit late to share the information so went with the flow. The idea was to catch up time after a BMW had improved it’s front end styling from the rather polarizing new look - you know the one where it looks like you dipped ass cheeks in ink and backed up onto the front of the car - well anyway, it had taken too much kerb while cornering on turn 12 and then impacted the wall. It was not a bad idea as it got us back on schedule and it made everyone undertake a learning exercise in track awareness. Some of us needed that.

Brilliant dinner at Le Guacamole in Millville. Lots of laughs. Some excellent biting humor from @Boxologist who showed that he has not lost it. Don’t ask me to name everybody!!!

New customer for a seven.

Lovely eh?

Oops. Grassy tires never lie…..

Roman’s WCM Ultralite Justin’s Zetec. Graham’s Honda powered Locost. Blakes Duratec powered Caterham. Croc’s Cosworth CSR John’s 2.3L Duratec Des’ pretty little cross flow.

A photo guide of cars today. Simon’s 420R (currently). Tom’s 2.3L Cosworth Duratec SV Kevin’s Haynes Locost Jay’s Duratec SV Paul’s Duratec Birkin Jim’s Zetec Supersport.

This is not your normal track day. A Williams F1 car is running. A team was flown in from the UK to support the owner who is an NJMP Drivers Club member. Should be noisy in the garage today.

Jim’s airborne bonnet from last year makes a reappearance.

Tech inspections and registrations done. Now just socializing before drivers briefing.

You should always start the track day off with a hearty hot breakfast. All included for participants.
