Great RACING, got to meet a few new faces like Tom, AJ, young 1/2 of the M-Train.

I'm still glowing with all the fun I had.........wait that is just the sunburn I think

Jeff Loewe was there taking pics, should be awesome as always.

WOW VAUGHN! WAY TO CARRY THE TORCH!
It's nice to see the Waterford gang did well. I hear Moser's did well in ITA.
Charlie Tobel took his new ITS car (now who's would that have been? ) down at the last minute. Didn't make qualifying so he should have started from the back of the ITS field in the ITS/ITB Group (split grid). Unfortunately on the way to his grid spot, car started missing. Back to the paddock for fresh plugs. When he hit the track the green had dropped and he was down a half lap to the tail end of the ITB cars. He hard charged through the field to finish 14th overall(40 cars total) and 11th in ITS. His 9th fastest time allowed him to start in 9th for the Sunday qualifier race. Worked his way up to 3rd before being punted off in his shiny, new to him, yellow car (hint hint) by the 4th place car. Knocked him back to 17th. Started the afternoon race in 17th. Worked his way to 5th and was about to take 4th when a local yellow came out on the last lap. Finished 5th and posted the 3rd fastest lap. Not bad for getting in to new car he had never driven before the Saturday race and his first chance to drive the track(he had been there once before but blew up 10 minutes in to practice last year)!

Thanks to everyone for an awesome weekend. It was nice meeting everyone and especially seeing the other MK3 VWs in person. It was worth every second of our 13 hour trip to come and race against such a fast, well prepared field!

First video out, here's the 1:46.912 from Sunday afternoon's ITB race... sandwiched in between Beran and Chris... we ran like this pretty much ALL WEEKEND, excepting the Saturday race where Chris got hung out in the breeze by a lap 1 bobble, pretty much ending his chances of running with us.

Let's see if this'll work, first time trying a Youtube inline link... ACK, that didn't work. Well, here's the link, but looks like I will have to re-do it, the aspect ratio's all F'd up somehow...

EDIT - fixed the aspect ratio, should look right this time...

A HUGE vote of thanks to Todd et al for getting us a split grid with ITS; we wouldn't have had jack squat for ITB racing this weekend if we were mixed in. As it was, we had some of the best racing IMO that was on track all weekend!!!

I have to say the ITC battle was just awesome to watch on Sunday. Three wide down the back straight into the turn, passes being made everywhere. IMO, this was probably the best race I saw of the weekend.
