Practice completed... we're still in one piece... They were doing a rear main on Peter Keane's Honda last night when we left the track... Ruck put his Teg into the wall near 5, but I didn't get the details... seemed like it was probably pixable, just not as pretty - RHS hit pretty even, looked like. That's about all the significant stuff I'm aware of... lots of people making it to the track later than desired, missing out on practice time...

Rain expected this afternoon...

Thanks, Vaughn

Talked to Ruck today - seems like the car's OK, he was running 6th in class, and everything seemed straight...

We're doing OK... Q1 had Schaafsma, me, then the Keanes, but Keith Wilbanks, a local guy I've not run with before, got his car sorted in Q2 and jumped up to the pole, bumping us all down a notch...

Other Quali results are all up on mylaps...

Where was Beran, Derek & Rob, Trever and/or Kirk??? Not sure how the race was but somehow we need to get all the top dogs together. Looking at the times it looks like we could have a huge (15+) "top dog" field in ITB....

Kirk was at home working on house stuff. Spent his ARRC budget fixing the car after two big whacks. Based on my RAtl visit earlier this year, I wouldn't have been a threat to the front-runners.

Wilbanks was really fast when I was there. I'm interested how he finished.

Great drive through. GOOD job.

[Greg Amy]

Update: Joe and Bob Moser tossed for illegal cold air intakes (the question we've been debating for some time now). Don't know if they plan to appeal.

That makes Kevin Ruck your ITA ARRC champion!

Willie, those boys from up north were playing rough this weekend. My race went 5 laps before he got my RR wheel in 10B. No pass was low % this weekend. I felt lucky with no sheetmetal damage. Talked afterwards and all is forgiven.
This did remind me of my old SM days!:eek:

LOL... we WERE there. Deuce is lucky that we took heavy damage from a t-bone from Sam Moore's Volvo on lap 3, as we were coming for him - mind you, we did out-qual him - but the massive aero hit, not to mention some engine damage, prevented us from closing to battle w/ him.

Things will be different at Mid-Ohio... once I make that appointment with the frame guy!

Just wait till you see the photos from Winner's Circle!

Had a great race with Aaron, though... just bummed it wasn't with Deuce, like it should've been!

any pictures??? I am very curious on what was found illegal... seems like it would be an interpretation that the stewards didn't agree with as the rules IMO are very open to anything you want to do as long as it stays in the engine compartment...

Vaughn, that sucks... Those Volvos are big!!!

Theirs were not in the engine compartment as they were drawing cold air from the fender well, with an intake tube that went down into it.
