    George,

    Glad to hear you had a good weekend. Even though the Honda does not go as fast as the CSR, at least your brain is more likely to stay ahead of the Honda.

    If you get a chance, do some rally crossing in a FWD. You will advance up the learning curve faster on thottle/brake control.

    Attend the ARRC. It is no different than any other race and it has the benefit of race groups, at least for the IT cars, generally have fewer classes and therefore less speed differential between the cars.

    Besides, you won't get a better spectator seat for a race anywhere.

    Definitely a great job by all those involved in organizing and working the event. I think everybody had a fun weekend and it sounds like the Barber people were pleased as well, which is a good thing. The paddock seemed a lot more empty than last years race, but that was probably to be expected.

    That was me in the black 240SX, Paul. It was good to have somebody to race as we were both sort of in no mans land for our classes. The six ITA cars in front of me were all 4+ seconds faster so I had no hope of staying up with them. I tried to make it a little difficult for you to get by . I'd love to see your video.

    George, don't let your "novice" status keep you from the ARRC. Sounds like you've been at it a while. If you kept up with those guys at Barber then you'll have no issues at the ARRC. Anybody can do the ARRC (that's one of the cool things about it) and it's always a fun weekend.

    That was my first time at Barber. What a great facility. Looks like a country club. Had a great time racing with David on Saturday and trying to catch him on Sunday. ATL and AL SCCA put on a wonderful weekend. Looking forward to going back. And looking forward to ARRC. Video is the 1st lap of Saturdays Group 4 race.

    Cesar,

    GREAT video. It was my first time at Barber as well, well 1st time to race instead of work, and I really enjoyed racing with you. We had a good little battle on Sunday

    Your video was the first time I have seen my car from another competitors video. I got a great start only to suffer brain fade for the rest of the race.

    Thanks for posting. Here is my incar from the same start.

    It was a good time! Wish the ITS car that got into the ITA lead battle would have gotten out of the way, but what can you do
