Unfortunately there seemed to be plenty of drama in the Group 2 races this weekend, but for us in ITC/Group 4 there was plenty of awesome racing. This weekend was by far the most fun I've had racing.

For those that enjoy pics of potential injuries caused by garage shenanigans...

I also now have all my videos posted if you missed the ITC races this weekend.
There was such a good battle between 3rd-7th during most of the weekend that Jinx and Frenchy were able to pull away for the most part.

Bill has an oil line burst during Saturday's race and spins in turn 1, Jim dives into pit lane and I just try to not die:

Bill and Jay get into each other during Sunday's qualifying race:

Fred knocks me sideways after I lose track of where he is during the start of Sunday's race:

Jim, Bill and I almost have a three car pileup exiting the keyhole:

I push Jim down the back straight and then pass him:

I push wide coming out of turn 1 with two ITA cars on my inside and go four wheeling:

Footage from inside my car from when I went wide in turn 7 and go flying and jumping through the grass:

In no way did I drive a perfect race, or even partial lap, I made plenty of mistakes and got lucky many times but fortunately, and thankfully, everyone in our race group was patient and no one purposely made contact with each other. I thank everyone for that and like I said before, I had an absolute blast.

Aww, you missed the best part...where I was jumping and bopping along in the grass and didn't die.
