    Kirk, you points monger!

    Nope, no SARRCs at Rockingham this year. NCR is I think committed to running SARRCs at VIR only.

    Nashville not this weekend but next...Probably not too long a tow for you.

    Funny thing is, I started the season not caring in the least about SARRC points. Then the IT Triple Crown thing came long. THEN we had a good weekend and leaped up the points chart (presuming anyone is actually COUNTING the points - they haven't updated the standings since the beginning of May).

    All of a sudden, there's a pretty good chance that we're actually in (or certainly near) the ITB points lead. That makes the Triple Crown a real possibility, since I was going to do the 'fest and the ARRC this year anyway...

    :026:

    I don't pretend that I can win the ARRC with so little (potentially zero) RAtl experience, or have the same kind of success at MO for the same reason, but just being near the top in all three legs might get us there.

    You are having an AWESOME year, and are probably leading the points. If you can make Nashville, you could score two more wins (although I think Jay Marlowe is signed up and he is fast in B.....in fact I just looked and there are 6 B cars signed).

    Go for it man, I'd love to see you and Pablo El Segundo win a SARRC championship, which to me anyway is the most prestigious of all that stuff.

    How are you at Roebling? Jay is quick there, and you'll need 5/6 wins like Bowie says going in. But you can do it.....we're pulling for ya.

    RR is not problem for me. I don't have a lot of time there but Pablo is well suited to the type of corners that dominate the layout.

    And, while it might suck some of the fun out of the weekend, we're planning to come to the SIC fully prepared, with the intention of protesting Marlowe's car for noncompliance. I haven't done that in a LONG time but it looks like it will be necessary.

    I really like Roebling. The track is a true driver's track and is HIGH SPEED. So Pablo likes long high speed sweepers better than abrupt transitions? My car too.

    Good luck on the SIC. I'm pulling for you guys.

    Heck, yeah - a la Nelson Ledges. Or the last couple of corners before the climb up hill at Summit. Torque is a great thing, in those types of turn, too. But you knew that.
