Only from the Sunday morning race. Conditions were just about perfect. Cold and sunny.

This is not overall:

Charbonneau 2:32.997 Miata
S. Goldin 2:33. 870 Rx-7
Seck 2:33.925 Integra
Akarjalian 2:34.056 Rx-7
Potter 2:34.701 Rx-7
Vensel 2:36.003 Rx-7

That enough??:)

After the race I went over to congratulate Andrew for not scraping the paint off the drivers side mirror in T1 and Mike had the LF wheel off. They were all laughing and shaking thier heads. Seems the outside brake pad was GONE!!!!!...meaning not even THERE!!!!:shrug:

And the Mazda goes Hummmmmmm

Not sure if Andrew spun at anytime during the race. He did tell me he never wanted to drive a car like that again. He mentioned T17 as a focal point.:eek:

I'm the guy that talked to you on the grid about Ricky doing your cage.

Glad to see you made it through the weekend unscathed.

All I remember was a silver RX7 pointed right at us as me and several ITA/ITB/IT7 cars came through back section on the second or so lap of the first race.

It was a fun event... chased a fuel issue all weekend and never got it right. I had fun carving through them ITB cars though :X

I got the novice permit signed off on so all in all it was a successful weekend.

Unfortunately, it was me who spun coming into 15 in the morning race and the car stalled and could not get it started (was not fun seeing all your faces coming at me). As I was coming into 15, the car in front of me checked up (very early) before I could get the car straight and my only options were to hit him or try to brake….next time, I will be giving him a little bump….

Anyway, it was fun coming from last to about mid pack….I appreciate everyone’s awareness and maneuvering around me….Great weekend overall.

Anyone have any pics from the weekend?

Didn't race Charles. Just made a pest of myself, observed, and gave my biased, un-asked for opinion.:D

I'm done for a while. My car and I are pretty tired. 12 years on the same engine and I really don't have the funds to freshen it up. I'm back to giving rides at DE's:happy204:

Marc,
when I read your post I thought you said your mirror not someone else's. Then saw on mylaps you were not there. No fun! Much more dangerous doing DE's...........

Yeah Charles - my comment about the mirror was because I watched Andrew in the ITS Miata and the Spec Miata come within INCHES of scraping the mirror on the wall in T1, EVERY lap. He took everyone to school in that corner. It was amazing to watch.

I tried to tuck it in as far as I could every time I took turn 1... I remember my uncle use to say he was taught to try and hit the wall...
