No reason to be upset, just the facts. Ask the stewards. Heard about it after impound and before the finals were released.

Thank u Jeff and Jake!

Never did publicly thank other folks...

Big thanks to my crew for pointing out that the speedsensor actually came unbolted from the tranny (Lord only knows how and when). Soon there after, we found out that the speedsensor signal not only goes back to the speedometer but the ECU as well - eek!

Big thanks for Greg Amy for helping me address the killswtich issue - which prevented the alternator from charging the battery.

Big Thanks to Jeff Lawton for allowing me to bust his balls and giving me great advice which neither of us followed (quote from Jeff, "I would put on the dirt stockers if I were you")... yeah I should of listened.

And big thanks for everyone for not crashing into me or each other.

For those that might not know, the aforementioned electrical issues plagued the car from the first hot lap in qual. Started 22nd out of a field of 22 with a HUGE LRP qual time of 3:02 - tee hee. As we all know, tire choice was shit for half the field, including for me. I was able to pass 4? cars at the start and another 2 more during the first couple of laps. As the race progressed, so did the rain and inversely proporiation was my speed. During the last lap, I slid past the turn in for Big Bend a few equally frustated drivers past me by. Denise stayed with me for MANY laps at the end of the race and got a well deserved pass!

Big congrats to Andy, Brian, Max and all the others - in all, I still a ton of fun and I'm REALLY happy that the bugs have been worked out.

until WGI...

You just learned lesson #1 of race craft. Other racers will lie to you like there's no tomorrow. I was tellin' people the day before to put on Dirt Stockers!!


Hmmmmmm, did someone say "karma"??

Great event!
Thanks Mick for flagging the school with us on Friday-we had the best seats (so to speak) for the students' antics at Station 2 there. Hope it was fun for you, at least!
Leigh, both Dan and Marianne did a spectacular job-the weekend went off without a hitch.
Greg, Dick, Bill E.: it was nice to work with you when I could at Tech-easily the best way for volunteers to feel involved and connected with the drivers at a race.
I was impressed to see several Lime Rock Club members running with us in either the school, regional, or both. The two organizations can coexist at LRP!
Lime Rock Park has lots of gratitude for all the racers-I'm trying to help the track realize how expensive it can be-but especially for those in the ITB/R/S Impound where I was able to show some Foster Adoptive Mission families what our club is all about: good times racin'! I knew you guys would run clean-like all year-and that you'd enjoy the publicity. Those kids aren't going to wash those autographs away! The group has also pledged to come again next year-I think it can turn into a NARRC-Offs-Boy-Scout-Jamboree-scale event.
I appreciate your kind comments Bob Z.-I'll send an e-mail.
By the way Glenn, that's an awesome camera angle! Now we just need it in Rob's quality... :cool: Good vids guys.
See you at NHMS
