Icon10 * RUNNING THE GT3 AT COTA in AUSTIN - FOR YOU DR. TOM *
Ran the GT3 yesterday at COTA in Austin. What an absolutely amazing car--completely blown away overtime I drive this thing.

Met another guy who also ran his GT3 (yellow one in pics) that was sporting a Patek 5167...always fun to talk cars and watches.

My buddy won his class at Pirelli World Cup...I was just out there running my car for fun.

Dr. Tom you have a great hobby I'll tell you!!

The one in front of the white car is my bud who actually races--won his category by 34 seconds! I only wish I were that in shape

But the other shots I took while driving my GT3 around the track
