Great event for the last races of the year--4 of them!!!

How about all those ITC cars!!!

Great attendance guys and great racing. Jim's Civic just nosing out Jimbo's Renault by the closest margin ever at Nelson.

What was the margin of victory?

They said 0.001. But I think they were making that up. From my angle I would have said 4". I bet Jr says the same thing. :)

It was so close I really had no idea who won. Of coarse I thought it was me, but it was the most fun I've ever had losing! Great racing all weekend. A bit more carnage then usual but good close ITC racing, like we always have at Nelson. See you all next year.

I'll second that. The ITC class was the best of show ALL weekend! Ryan, you missed it! It was even worth all the wet ground, weeeellllll, that's a toss up.

Not that I am aware of.
I do know he ended up on his lid in one race.

Here are my Sunday Group 6 videos. Lots of side by side action in ITC.

Take some dramamine first, shakey video. Camera works fine at MO but Nelson's bumps are just too much for it.

Well, of course everyone still has the heater box in their car since it's required by rule (wink wink). But only a few of us still run water to it. I sure am glad I do.

It was so cold Sunday morning I started the car, put the defrost on. Waited in line for breakfast, got some hot chocolate, walked around and came back 30 minutes later and the temperature gauge wasnt even off cold yet! I was like :o woah!

On Saturday I ran a propane heater inside the car for 30 minutes just to get the ice off the INSIDE of the windows.

During qualifying the car warmed up enough to keep fog off the windshield but it would never have melted the ice.

Yep, dented my RF fender, scraped the bumper cover, and left a partial donut in the RR quarter. But I got the position! :D
