Finished off 2020 travels with another weekend at Lake Ouachita for a quiet celebration of my birthday with a few friends. Had great views off the cabin deck, including an early morning flyover of three C130's doing a low altitude run over the lake. Came prepared with plenty of bottled vaccines and antibiotics to keep the COVID away. I made my semi-world famous herb encrusted prime rib for everyone. Even the security team of Shadow Demi Lee, Sadie Diamond Lil and "special investigator" Charlee Anne (The Westy) got some relaxing done.


Now it's time to get started on roasting that turkey.

Good times! Looks so relaxing.

I'm off to Florida on Friday for a week or 2 as the 2021 season is starting with getting our 2 new Duqueine D08 LMP3 cars ready for the new season that were delivered last Friday. IMSA racing starts the first 2 weeks of January. So much for the off season.

So much awesome. Your updates here never disappoint. So glad things are returning to normal for you regarding your work schedule. And not just because we get such good auto porn.

The Pikes Peak car is flat awesome. The GT2RS is a purpose built 700HP twin turbo monster that flat gets it. Notice the key and automatic PDK.

Very awesome! 700HP! That thing must be a millimeter away from flying!

This thread title is as close as it get's. Where's Props ?

How are you guys managing storage space on the long ventures. Roofbox - Noise ? Windflare, mielage ?

Everything I've read seems to infer a tow hitch box is best (I'm tow hitch equipped).
The Yakima EXO system with basket AND box combo is interesting

Back in the X5 for a 4000 mile run. We left Charlotte on Monday and our first stop was Louisville, KY for the night. Got up in the morning and headed to our second stop for the night in the Magnificent Mile in Chicago. From there we drove the next day to Brainerd, MN for the race this week.

The X5 ran like a top but yesterday after a rest stop I could hear a different note to the engine. Kind of a whirring or whining. Kept the RPMs low and got to our hotel and checked a few things out. Found the clutch fan to be mostly locked up so ordered a new fan clutch from FCP along with the removal tools to be delivered to the track tomorrow. We are not even halfway through our trip as we head for the Black Hills, SD after the race on Sunday.
