It was great to see some new ITB blood. There were 7 ITB cars, 4 of which were new (or at least I've never seen them). Everyone did a great job of racing clean and situational awareness. I hope that continues at the ITFest......

I was running consistent low 1:50s on old tires. Best I ran was a 1:49 sumthin' in Sunday's race. Heckman and Swan were running high 1:50s-mid 1:51s. I felt like I should've been pulling down easy 1:47s given the effort I was putting forth. I asked around just to make sure it wasn't my car (since I crunched the LF pretty good Friday afternoon), but everyone seemed to be 2-4 secs off their normal lap times. As a comparison I was running 1:47.5s at the October 2010 WOR Games on the exact same setup/tires.
