Biggest Props - Bettencourt - can you believe the margin of victory??? Made all who know him proud. A great competitor and advocate for the sport. He's been looking for that checker and I believe that was the first win in ITA??? 1:02 - damn. You are EMBARASSING the ITS guys!!!!

Andy did drape a checkered flag on the hood of his Miata at NHIS - Pig Roast on Sunday, after recovering from a blown headgasket repair from saturday qualifyng - making this his second victory of '06. Just another Bettencourt cheerleader keeping the record straight. Congrats again Andy!

Thanks Tim! As we know, Greg wasn't at that NHIS weekend so we all need to bring out the guns for Cheap date. I am hoping that we can get a nice race going there is the BB Boys get their 240SX's up and running well, you show, Richie, Jeff, etc...all trying to kill the Giant!

The ITS race this weekend for me was one of the best races this year. Both the BMW drivers were great at finding the grip in the first few laps when the track was very slippery and unpredictable. I dont know how you did it but great job! The star of the race for me was Eric King. He did a wounderfull job, first of all saving the car after the spin on the down hill, then gaining back all that lost time to catch Steve and I . The race that then followed between the three of us was intence but ultimatley Eric wone out with some brave driving and a good read on the slower traffic giving him a cushion of a lead over me at the end. It was great racing with two drivers who have the experience to race hard and be safe also. Can't wait to do it again at NHIS.

OK OK…. that’s enough of the Bettencourt bandwagon!!!!!!! If I recall correctly he WON the first ITS race that he ever entered!!!! So I guess we should really be asking him what the hell took so long with this car.

See you this weekend

Eric drove a fine race indeed (Derek Daly voice: "Ooh, King makes a very brave move in West Bend!" ), and I'm looking forward to Cheap Date at NHIS ...

... especially as I am counting down the remainder of the season because I'm selling the green 05. Look for an ad in Classifieds soon.

I will be driving in ... in ... Spec Miata next year. <Duck flying tomatoes.> But wait, it&#39;s not as evil as it seems. My plan is to do SM for a season while ITR shakes out, then build a killer ITR ride for 2008.

As I say, the ad will be out soon listing all the goodies on the 05. In the meantime, if you know anybody looking for a seriously fast ITS Mazda, send &#39;em my way!

Nooooooooooooooooooooo. He&#39;s gone to the dark side!!!

As long as you&#39;re not taking the Miata to ITA. We already have one PIA Miata!!

[Andy Bettencourt]

I vote we convert all of our rental SM&#39;s to ITA. REAL ITA.



There should be 20 Miata&#39;s for every Saturn and NX2000.

You&#39;d need &#39;em, in order to rack up enough total wins to look good...even rabbits end up generating enough success for survival of the species despite being constantly eaten by coyotes...

looking at andy&#39;s times, i think he could have won the ITS race. i lost count of how many 102&#39;s he ran.
