I believe the Sun. morning session will be a qualifying race for grid position for the Sun. afternoon race. Working to confirm and get the information on the on-line registration site corrected. The PDF supps show it as I've described above.

I was wondering what was taking you so long...

$1's? What, is there an excursion to some local establishment planned later? 8)

I was wondering what was taking you so long...

Just had to get a feel for wether or not I could get the car ready in time or not, but I'm currently in the car heading back from meeting Bone near Cincy, with a 4.9FD equipped ITB EG DX tranny in the trunk. Should get it back in the car tonight and be ready to go. BTW Vaughn, I was at the local Pick & Pull this morning while they set out a fresh '79 924, complete and unwrecked.

And you didn't bring it home to build??

[924Guy]

I had a feeling that wuz gonna happen... Ah well... woulda been pretty quiet out there, for sure!

PS - Ruck, obviously no-one wants you - you'd best just go run ITR.

He'd probably win ITR too...

[Jim Royal]

We'll take Ruck! Bring the C car!!!!!

[downingracing]

Get those entries in people!!! G1/G3 thing was discussed and decided early this time. Hopefully the later start time will allow the sun to be up and give everyone that extra 30 min of sleep/recovery time!!!

GREAT fun this weekend - thanks to all I played with! 'Cept those ITA guys who kept jumping in front of me at the start then holding up the parade...

Great fun racing with Hardison and Ruck, and a few other misc guys... makes me sad to be leaving ITB!

Great great weekend, awesome weather, couldn't ask for a better end to the season.

Congrats to Vaughn and Dan on beating the ITB Pro Course track record Sunday, and especially to Vaughn to now be the Club & Pro Course record holder. Had there been one more lap Sunday afternoon, Vaughn would've got me - my car had tightened up pretty bad.

I just don't know if my lap times were good enough to take the car to the ARRC - 1:47.9 Club Course & 1:46.0 Pro Course. I was hoping both would be at least half a second faster. But, as everyone got a good laugh out of all weekend, I accidently blew out my rear windshield Friday night, so I was running those times with a huge hole in my rear hatch, and its obvious bad-aero. With rear glass, and a new splitter/air-dam attached to the front end, could I just maybe get this thing moving fast enough in a straight line to not be dog-meat down Road Atlanta's back straight?

Video of the first lap. Starting in the 41st grid position sure was interesting! Used the pit out lane at the first turn to 'help' work my way up. (Without cones to block it off - pit lane is the racing surface and fair game.) Contact on the back straight took chunks out of the rim and messed up the rear quarter. (Extended wheel studs do way more damage than you'd think!) I had no idea what happened behind me...

Woohoo, see ya there Bill!

Was really looking forward to this event. Was going to be my 1st weekend at M-O, but I sold my car. Oh well always next year.

Unless my buddy greg wants to split the enduro and let me run his car with him in the enduro

[R2 Racing]

I'm still trying to decide between bringing the ITA car or the ITB car.

[924Guy]

You'll probably have better competition in A; Mosers will be there, and I'm not planning on bringing any fresh rubber... last time I bought new tires was '08, for the ARRC... they're still on the car! LOL

I'm just going down to get some laps in...

[ITA_honda]

I think ITB would be a great fit for you Kevin
I wonder why! haha. see you there
