Big wreck on the front stretch to start the race. A couple other little things here and there, all in all, good racing!
From Steve Ulfelder on FB (hope you don't mind) "Had a great Pro-IT race - a battle with 4 or 5 other Miatas that never let up. Great stuff, but bookended by unfortunate incidents. On the start, I got into my friend Denise Van Buren, who spun into the wall and was creamed by another car. I feel awful about that. With two laps to go, leader and eventual winner Ian Prout, also a friend, punted me in Watkins Glen's Bus Stop Chicane. That was just one a them racin' deals. No biggie. One sprint race left this afternoon!"
"I shouldn't have said Ian "punted" me. Let's say instead that we made contact - I could have done things differently to avoid contact, but I was in the middle of a hammer-and-tongs shitfight (a 3-car bumpdraft through the Esses)."
I don't think Denise will be sending Steve any Christmas cards this year.
Also had a great opportunity to see the great handling skills of the BMW's in the Bus Stop. Sarcasm off!!!!!!
Marc Ulan's car is pretty F-ed up from the mess as well. He's got some interesting video showing it all go down. A totally laid back guy but know it is less than happy and I totally do not blame him. A bunch of body work, suspension, and other fun stuff. Unfortunate especially on the first lap before the first turn. :rolleyes:
2 laps to go in the Pro IT race from my BMW. I had a run going into the bus stop and contact was Not intentional, desired nor intended. I spoke to Steve U. post race, and the discussion did not include profanity, nor confrontation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ky95M...ature=youtu.be
Ian...You're that much faster, no one chasing, the leader not in sight and two laps to go, would I make that pass?? not there and not then!
