St. Louis March 2005 Double School

[Racerlinn]

Mark, I wish I could have kept up with you and Chris, but I had my hands absolutely full with Tom Scheifler and his Miata. Nothing liking taking your first win ever by making a last lap, last turn pass on the outside!

Hey Scott, I know it's only been 24 hours and all, but any idea when the full results are going to get posted? Also, any idea if anyone was snapping pictures at the track?
I had a great time and it was an excellent weekend, even if it was friggin cold Sunday morning!

I snapped a few pics, but they are mainly of the people I knew and misc. RX-7's.

We'll try to do something about the weather for next time. It sure was cold out on the corners. The big sign outside the gate never got about 30. That was one bad thing about being in turn 7 - I could see that sign.

[Racerlinn]

KevSC1,
Thanks for being out on a corner for us. I sure do appreciate it. It certainly did look cold out there. I've spent enough time on one myself as well as working pit road in less than "favorable" weather.
Thanks again!

T5 wasn't too bad on Sunday as long as you were Blue Flagging. The wind was right in the yellow flaggers face.

I stopped in and talked to a couple of guys paddocked in the garage and it seemed a lot colder there than while on the track.

Chris and everyone else, if you've got any feedback on the event (either positive or negative), shoot me an email and I'll relay it to the rest of the rest of the STL Road Race Committee.

Hey Scott, you didn't happen to notice a red Nissan go 4 wheels off at the apex of T5 with 3 laps to go did you?

You're welcome. I enjoyed it, but I like it better when it is warmer!

We were pretty busy at the end of the race. The ITB Prelude had a pretty good off into the tirewall in 5 so I was a little busy with the yellow and failing to communicate with Control. "Corner Working is hard mmm-kay"

Did you get passed while you were three wheels off? Maybe that was the pass under yellow I was asked about...

[Racerlinn]

No, this was before the Prelude smacked te wall. I got held up by one of the Vette's going into 3 (I love saying that!) and the red ITA Miata I had been racing with got on the inside of me into 4. I carried way to much speed (too busy watching out for him) and had a real "OY!" moment and went into the grass at the turn in to 5. He gave me plenty of room to gather it up, but still got by me. My in-car video in entertaining. The next lap you can see my tire tracks thru the grass...
