Dan H. had his B car there in May and did very well! (and I was there with the A car doing fair....) Not making that trip 2x this year. 476 miles door to door for me.

Loved the track and will definately be back (maybe next year)!

Good luck to all!!!

Car will take another week to fix after Summit's T8 excursion - won't make this WE bu will try for the next WGI event, work/travel permitting.

Would anyone be willing to help out a friend with an ITR RX8? He is normally a NASA driver and I am trying to introduce him to the dark side I helped him at mid-ohio and it was a lot of fun with him! He will have his own car and trailer and some tools.

PM me and I can put you in touch...

Stephan,

I will be there for the entire weekend working Registration, and would be happy to give your friend any assistance needed. I'll be on site Friday afternoon, and leaving late Sunday.

Racer for forty years, built four SCCA cars (BS, IT, and too many other projects to name. I've worked as Race Chair, Tech, Registration, Race Medical, Crew for Reginals, Nationals, Pro, and TransAm.

I've worked as a Foreign Car Mechanic while in school.

Have your friend call me direct at (716) 693-7199, or [email protected] to discuss his needs, and weekend schedule. (Phone would be quicker.) I may have second similarly qualified warm body available. That would make two crew members!!:026:

Good Racing,

Bill

Hey Stephen,

I will look up your friend in the RX8 and give a big SCCA welcome! Glad to have more ITR guys.

Can't wait to race this weekend! It'll be the second event for me this season.

[CRallo]

Don't scare him away!

I look forward to seeing you and your car! Glad you got it fixed!

Hey what happened in the B race yesterday? Steve Frederick just posted pics on FB of Kirk's car all mangled up. Rumor has it he was punted?

[Knestis]

You tell me...

In-car of the mess.

So was that my buddy Ray? Thats not the first time he went through drivers school with me and our first race after school on the second lap he punted me but he was driving an Eagle Talon then his car was written off i finished the weekend with some duct tape.

[StephF]

Apparently he is well known.

[rbrund]

That Group 1 race took after the red flag to reline up over an hour to run. It was fun trying to score i can tell you that much.

Holy crap dude.

Please tell me that there was action taken.

And I hope Pablo is OK.

[Knestis]

There's a long conversation about it at RRAX but the short version is that I didn't file an action with the stewards. In hindsight - particularly because the punter has exhibited a pattern of this kind of behavior - I feel *very* stupid for not doing so but I was distracted with other reactions (glad to be only moderately hurt, dealing with ruined car, reflecting on my own possible responsibility as a driver). Knowing what I know now, particularly now that the offender has had another freebie, it should have been done.

[Knestis]

...and here's how it ended for Pablo.





The last hit was square into the driver's door. I'll have pics of the door bars that probably kept me out of the hospital here in a little while...

[Bill Miller]

Shit Kirk! Sorry to hear about this one. Glad you're not seriously hurt. I imagine you'll be even sorer tomorrow. Sucks about Pablo. :-(

I wish that you had filed a protest (or urged the Chief Steward to take action) to get this deal on record. However, seeing your video and pictures of Pablo, I can certainly understand why you weren't in that frame of mind. That said, don't dwell on what might have been done - I'm sure there will be increased scrutiny going forward.

Was the t-bone in the door from the red 9 VW who got caught up in the mêlée? I saw pictures of it with heavy front end damage but there has been no mention of his involvement.

Hope to see ya at a race soon ... The Devil 2013?
