Sic/its

[Charles Perry]

Well boys, looks like we have everyone coming to the party. Should be a great weekend. Close race for the points.

Looks like we will have to all gang up on the darn meotter!! Looking forward to a fun weekend. Car is still in the trailer from Barber with a broken exhaust. Guess I need to get to work.

With 11 entries so far the ITS race is shaping up to be one of the more interesting of all the IT group. Clearly Charbonneau is the guy to beat. With a good finish he will win the championship, but there will be a wild pack of drivers foaming at the mouth to stop him. If he does have a bad day then the points battle gets tight. With Perry and Eckerich separated by only one point for second whoever puts their car out front could win it all. Coming from fourth I would need some help to take the big trophy. But you never know........

In the "pretty far back in points but likely to take the SIC win" category we have David Spillman. With this being his tune up for the ARRC look for him to be FAST! The other dark horse in this category is Jeff Young, depending on whether his ignition gremlins make the trip down from Raleigh.

There are several other notables in ITS who have gotten faster this year. Look for good finishes from Hines and McCandles.

So going out on a limb here my picks are Spillman for the race, Charbonneau for the Champ.

The TR8 is coming......we'll see about this ignition crap...

One of us needs to beat that Meotter to Turn 1....since I am the torque king, I nominate me. You guys take it easy in qual and let me get that outside pole....

Seriously, David, Steve E., Andrew, Charles, Steve P., good field. Will be just fun to watch if that damn Halfark messes up the weekend.

I just want to say good luck to you all. Sorry I'm not there to get in your way ;~} And look forward to hearing all about your adventures soon.

Cheers

As much as I'd love to run well there, I had nothing for Charbonneau in his A car.... Steve, and Steve and several others have abused me on that track....Plus I'm Really rusty, got married, gained back 25 of the 40 pounds I'd lost.... But I am gonna play with some mucho camber there. Outta shape.... cycling tires....etc,etc...

really looking forward to seeing ya'll, been a while ....

Should be a good time. The only "issue" is that the A race will be right in the middle of the S race. Kip, Mike, and I should be right up there with you guys in your lead pack, so hopefully we'll all play together well and not block each other TOO much

Maybe we could ask for an S A/7 split start instead of a S/A 7. I dunno.

I'd be fine with that, and it makes sense to me. Contact Buccaneer and see what they say. That would give us 3 very "defined" groups of cars -- S, and then A/7 together with A in front of all the 7 cars except maybe Jeff Ryan.

Ok ITS folk, what's doing down there at Roebling?

Data is up on MyLaps.

Only drama was yesterday when Perry's brake line broke in turn 1, ended up in berm - severe damage. But they worked on car and made it to Q.

Ralph, S was great racing. We missed having you guys down.

Qual was CLOSe. Harold Corbin got the pole at a 1:22.5 or something and then we were ALL stacked up behind him real close. 7 cars or so within 8 tenths of that.

I think it was Corbin-Eckerich-Spillman-Boatwright-Young-McCandless-Parrish-Hines.

Then, the ITS Miata arrived and put down a 22 flat in a drizzle Saturday afternoon. Sheesh that guy can drive!

We had three A cars in the mix up front and the start got jammed up. I got hung up on the inside and McCandless and Hines got around me. Corbin/Eckerich/Spillman drove off while we jostled with each other and they finished that way.

The Miata checked out for the win.

After a LOT of side by side racing, we sorted out Parrish-Young-McCandless-Charles Perry for 5th on back. Everybody was close on times though, except the Miata.

Great, close racing. Best racing in S in a while. Basically, .5 in qual on Saturday morning decided how you finished.
