Mr. Diminno's lack of forward motion at the start put me into the spot behind Rick and the Camaro. I was hoping to testify for Rick at the protest. When I spoke to the Camaro guy in impound he was not sorry or apologetic. Yes he was penalized for a multiple PUY on Saturday; and yes he was the only SSB car running. Cannot the corners call in this crap and at least have the stews chat him up? Anyone behind this mess have a camera in? The video should be brought to his next race as a warning to all.
So I narrowly escaped the Civic/Camaro synchronized (almost full track blockage) spin by realizing that the third coming together was not going to lead to a happy ending. I did an extreme brake and a jink to the few feet left of asphalt on the outside. Nat Wentworth saw my difficulties and slowed enough not to take me out as well. OTOH he did pass me immediatly, and then Ken Hubbard blitzed past him into 1st in B. A bunch of Miatii also went by. So I went into full warp(ed) mode. Ran down the Miata's, caught Nat and watched him pull off with a broken trans, and looked way ahead to Ken. Ken could pull me on the straights, but not in the turns. Lots of work and squealing tires got me to Ken who bobbled in the toe. Didn't get done the first time, but the next time I was there. We had a lot of fun dicing and it was an amazing weekend for me. Qualified on pole, won the qualifier, won the race, new B track record.
