2005 ITB/ITC ARRC

[Catch22]

Thanks for posting that Tim.
I miss my old Civic. It was going to win that race until the driver jammed his head up his ass in 10a.

That did remind me what an AWFUL decision it was to not split B and C for that start. We were all over slower B cars in those first few laps. I think that was a B car that snookered me in turn 5 on that first lap.

Anyway, hopefully they learned their lesson and will split the start from now on. I think thats pretty important in a high profile race like the ARRC. When we did the split start in 2004 the fast C cars didn't catch the slower B cars until after things had already strung out a bit and there were no issues at all.

Hey Scott - Snuck away for a few days so slow to post a reply. As I remember your car was totally "hooked up". I took a while fo rme to get used to RA and I am hoping to get back sooner than later. Sold the "C" car and it stayed in NER. I running a TEG in "A" Prpepardd by MSN. Would love to bring it down to RA - We'll see. Be well - see ya soon.

I would vote for a B/C split start - defintiely the way to go.

Thanks for the video, Tim. I saw several friends and how they ended up where they did. lol After years of watching race cars from turn five (and being somewhat incoherent most of the time), I learned some bad habits about running at Road Atlanta that I have a hard time breaking. Watching videos like yours and some others of the B/C group helps me understand some of the many places I screw up. I appreciate it!

Hey Chris - It's fun to watch and learn from the video's. I've collected a few over the years - I think I have 40 race weekends, with about 55 races - a blast to watch the development curve. See ya soon.
