awesome run! luck and skill makes a good combination.

sometimes it's better to be lucky than good... He has a nice combo the car had great top end, he misses all the wrecks, and drove real clean.

I'm working on an in car camera video from Daytona... it's way to long 30 min. but still real cool to watch yourself, see your mistakes, and good moves..
I was a much slower car in the class but the race with in the race is a blast!!!

Luck, skill, and determination!
Erik is an excellent car builder, crew chief and driver.
I would love to see him with a pro ride in World Challenge or other sedan/sports car series.

Great run. And there REALLY was a ton of carnage. Love the enthusiasm.

Was cool to see some interesting cars out there, also. Triumph TR6, Locost Se7en, ...

However, what is the deal w/ the Locost Se7en? He passed it about halfway thru the video, but then it ends up ahead of him. Mustve been something to do w/ the editing and the incidents.

I think there were three. Two yellow and one black one, that was in one of the incidents...

One Caterham was on pole, was involved in the first lap incident in the esses and later dropped out. The Caterham that won started near the front and stayed close throughout the race. 2 other Caterhams started mid-pack ahead of Erik, one was hit in the first lap melee and dropped something on the track that Erik avoided by going off course to drivers right. The yellow one Erik passed mid-race had a british flag on the rear panel.
A fifth Caterham started somewhere behind Erik I think.

Thanks Guys,

Just saw this thread. I was very happy about the outcome. I would like to be lucky AND good. Some of the issues we had to deal with were a lack of grip on turn in, also some power on grip issues. I believe they are sorted out. I only had three outings this year, 2 wins and a third (in the driving rain on slicks).

Chris is right, I would really love to get into a pro ride, or at least have a try out. I've been setting up a Radical and hope the experience will pay dividends in my racing. Put it on the outside pole at Watkins Glen, then won from there. I had a blast, and learned alot. Like what it feels like at 100+ to spin the wheels. I have done this with one driving wheel (motorcycles) but not two until now. Great fun. Great track.

Thanks guys,
