Grattan anyone?

It's official, I have sent in the entry form. I also talked with the registrar and it sounds like the ITS field is still Doane, Russell and White.

See you in impound if I don't park it out by the treeline again.

See you all at the track!

OK, I'll start.

Perfect weather. Car count down a little, but the region broke even.

I tried to get by with old tires for the weekend, but it didn't work out at all. By the end of qual Saturday I was 3 seconds off my pace and my 8-tire supply was down to 3 barely usable. Hoosier didn't show and Goodyear had nothing for me, so I feared I'd be going home early. George Russell won the ITS pole but broke his transmission in the process, so he very generously offered me his tires. Worked out very well for me as I got my first (and second) career win.

Saturday the ITA guys were too strong for ITS. Chris Childs won the overall pole in an IT + T2, T3, EP, SS field. Two touring cars and an HP went by him, but Chris went flag to flag for the IT overall followed closely by Matt Downing, me (ITS), and Russell White (ITS).

Unfortunately, Chris broke his car in the process, and didn't run Sunday. Downing didn't have any serious ITA competition so after a bad start he let Russell and me go - me/White/Downing.

The weekend included the best side-by-side racing I've ever experienced, and some very touching acts of generosity. Well done, guys and gals.

Any ITB/ITC updates?

Any ITB/ITC updates?

Sorry, small fields and I don't think I know any of them.
ITB - 1 Jeffrey Mattis, 2 Lenny Basaj both days
ITC - Shawn Hobbs Saturday

I also screwed up the ITS/A results for Sunday. I'll edit it now.

Were those ITA wins firsts for Chris and Matt? I think they may have been. Very nice.

How was the track? What kind of lap times was everyone running? I wished I was there this weekend more than once.

Sorry guys, I haven't been keeping track of the boards much. I am at Grattan every year, since it's just over an hour from my house. Jeff and Eric Mattis are from the Traverse City area. They may be new to ITB, as they bought the Audi from a guy in Boulder, CO last fall.

Here is a link to the photos I took. Mostly open wheel and Corvettes as I was driving in group 6 and my wife is not good with a digicam.
