Lawton on Pole!!!
Congrats!!!
Andy and Crazy Joe break... Lawton goes on to win (I think)... Jake is back and kicks butt in IT7 proving those cars are way to fast for ITB... Megliola wins ITC... Impound for all was very long???
Raymond "sorry jeff I am 2nd guessing myself, a lot was going on" Blethen
ITS Harding takes overall just ahead of Maynard in ITR... Jeremy just barely wins his race holding off Beran Peter by a car length... Jeremy was just trying to beat the ITB cars right??? LOL anyway congrats also goes to Beran for another solid ITB win!!!
Congrats to Jeff!!!!!!!
Very nice Jeff and Jake!!
Jake, was there a monsoon during the IT7 race we didn't hear about? :)
No, but I brought the rains anyway, Dave! The 'Kooks seem good...I did a 2hot lap qualifying session, and T&S must of screwed up, ;) and gave me a 1:17.1. The race was great fun, I got to lay a bumper on Joe at about lap 11, or so (hee hee!) and raced with a SSB guy for awhile. The car ran pretty well, and made it to the flag! (And for those who say the cars a solid "A" car, let me remind you the front of A was nearly 2 seconds away(From my one freakish lap), which ends up roughly proportional to the gap I see from IT7 to ITA at Road Atlanta.)
I'm wicked envious - and wish I was up there! What a great weekend (weather) and race format! The "putting the car back together" is progressing, and I should be back for the Pig Roast. But in the meantime, and I know that everyone is busy, but could someone post results for ITB? If Beran got first, what did the rest of the field look like?
thanks,
Tim M
ROUND 2:
ITA: #99 Brandscombe wins an excellent race!!!
ITC: #32 Megliola takes ITC
IT7: #57 continues to prove these cars are fast and is 2 for 2... Almoast time for a new Helmet!
ITS: #04 Harding takes the overall!!!
ITR: Maynard again with a solid class win...
ITB: #0 Beram Peter takes a big lead over Nat & Rick & also proves that Jermy can't beat the ITB field just yet
Round 3 for ITA IT7 and ITC saw the same winners...
The only changein winners for ROUND 3 in ITB, ITS & ITR was Jeremy fell to third in the ITB ranks
Big congrats to Geoff B. for sweeping Day's 2 races in ITA. He was patient, fast and very consistant. Wish I could have had a car out there to race him for the win.
Joe, Joe, Joe, remember the first rule of racing: talent = tires, and tires = talent...
;)
As for ITB, I think Nat Wentworth was in a solid second until he spun on Sat afternoon, and he looked closer Sunday afternoon, about 2 seconds back from Beran at mid race. Need to get those UPS truck sounding German monsters out for a reality check, right Blethens!?
How did Jeremy's car do in B Prepared? (or the Boy Scouts class or wherever tGA ran it?)
Wow what a long, bt VERY fun weekend. I made huge improvements and I am happy with the results since I had not been in the car in a year. Beran did beat me Sunday morning, but I had no one behind me and I just followed him and learned his line.
On Sunday was having a really good race mid pack ITS in fact and well in front of Beran before I ran out of talent in turn 3 and badly flatspotted my tires. I had never done that before and man the cars handling went right out the door and it sounded like the car was going to fall apart! I will write up more as I get more sleep.
Greg finished 2nd in DP and got another second off of the car. Although we still have a long way to go we are taking chunks of time off.
Congrats, Jake. Glad to hear you've gotten back out.
How many cars were in the ITR field? Dick, did you make it out?
I enjoyed pushing a tandem stroller this weekend. Almost as fast as my RX7, and considerably more dependable.
From a flaggers point of view the weekend was a great one with great racing and minimal carnage. Congrats to all the winners and to Dick for his recovery at 3 in the race on Sunday

Hey nice save by that guy in the blue Nissan. ;)
Here's mine form race #1. Never ever run auto-x compound tires on a 2500# front drive car when it gets warm out. :shrug: Try and count how many times I get pummeled in the ass, i lost count. :D

Joe,
After watching your vid I want to thank you for being a gentleman (even after I hit you going into 6 and loosened you up bigtime). You were definitely holding back on me going into 9. Your car has CRAZY power...I know I was driving 10/10. I'll race with you door to door any day my friend.

Here is my video from Sat.
You can see lots of Jeremy since I spent a good amount of the race behind him.
Also some good ITS action up and close. Erik actually leads the ITB race for a little while until I get by him.
I'll post the Sunday one within a day or two.
Beran

I felt bad about that Beran, but you had no one behind you and even as I let you by I was just going to catch you on the straights. Good clean fun though....
Later in the weekend I gained enough more time so I no longer was a issue for you!
Thanks for posting that was a fun video to watch myself from behind. Its amazing how much faster I was before my tires starting going away
Jeremy - no worries - I had fun with you. Like you said there was no one on my bumper so it was not a big deal. I was watching my rear view making sure no one was catching me. I was a little worried that I was distracting you from getting good laps but when you gave me the point by in three I thought ....sure lets swap spots for a coner :-)

Rob B 1280
Jeff L 1250 (is not yet eligible for 5 start 300 bonus points )
Geoff B 1050 (is not yet eligible for 5 start 300 bonus points )
Shane H 975 (is no tyet eligible for 5 start 300 bonus points )
Andy B 975 (is no tyet eligible for 5 start 300 bonus points )
Again - Check my math and eligibility but it looks like things are shaping up in "A"
Had a lot of fun this weekend. Some excellent good clean racing and it was nice to see everyone again. I'll try not to stay away for such a long time again. Coming back was not exactly like getting back on a bicycle after not doing it for a while. It was downright flocking scary. When Jeff L. and Joe D. went by me during one of the Fri practice sessions, is when I realized how slow I was at the time. By Sat afternoon things got much better with the help of a new set of tires. Congrats to Jeff L for sat win and Jeff B fo a Sun sweep. See y'all soon.
