Good Racing.
Results were posted on Mylaps the evening of the event. Search Heart of Dixie.
The 3 hour night Enduro was fun. Somehow time seemed to pass faster racing without sunlight. Michael Hartberger was the only driver to Iron Man the enduro, and he finished exhausted but first in Spec Miata. It was fun having a night race at the same time as the 24 Hours of Lemans was racing.
Drivers commented that the track was much more challenging than they expected.

Paul Ballance, a frequent poster here, and a Novice this year, won the ITS race on Sunday. His first win I think, and well deserved as he contributed a lot in the effort to do this race at Nashville Superspeedway.

Way to go Paul :026: You were looking good Saturday as well!

JB, DS, and myself ran what was my very first enduro. It was done under the lights Saturday (VERY cool, man is that a pretty facility). We did it in my ITB car - it was an absolute blast despite having only 3rd and 4th gear (I broke the shifter linkage on lap 1). We finished 10th of 14 and 1st in ITB (the only ITB car - where was everybody? - you missed a great event).

Tennessee Valley Region and Chattanooga Region did an AMAZING job of putting on this event. I had a fantastic time!

If you missed running under the lights at Nashville, you missed something really special - I hope to see you at the next one

Thank you Bill for all your hard work!

Considering that the track is in the far northwest corner of the division and with increased travel expenses, AND being on Daddy Day weekend, I thought the turnout was good. I'll second the kudos on TVR and CR on the excellent job organizing this event.

Great race report Paul, nice job! Hope that the rockers just jumped off an no damage was done. A couple of Z's I've been around have done that, although mine hasn't - knock on wood!
