Man what a great weekend.

First qualifying was interesting with a broken rear brake line, and a carpet level pedal, but the trans breaking is what kept me out of Q2.

The race was a blast for the first 4 or 5 laps. It felt awesome to get up the hill with a few car lengths clear of everyone, and then get a great exit off 7. It felt less great to have Duece get around me before the braking zone in 10. He led that first lap and every other with a great drive. Peter got around me when I came down the hill next to Deuce, didn't get it done and left my straight speed up on the hill with the correct line. I finally worked my way back around Peter and promptly spun the car in 3 trying to take just a little more of the curbing (really missing those Q2 laps now). Got into the wet grass and the tires on driver right.

Circulated thereafter with 1" toe out, and finished 5th. I'm pretty dissappointed with myself, because if I had just relaxed and used the same line, I had a great shot at the ITTC. Congratulations to Deuce and Aaron on their accomplishments, and congratulations to Vaughan for the spin/wreck/podium performance. You guys are a blast to race with.

I came home with lots of motivation, but also lots of work to do. The RR got bent badly with 50min to go on Sunday when the black rabbit came out of the pits, went up the hill, and tried to move left to set up for 3 after Chuck was 2/3 past him. 30 deg of toe out indicates something might be bent

See you at IT Fest!

Chris, that's a hell of a drive especially since you missed Q2 AND it was your first time at the track. Nice job!

I left out a huge part now that I re-read. Vaughan passed me on the back straight on the same lap that Peter did. I hounded him for a few laps and dove under him in 7. My LR and his RF bumper touched as I tracked out. He got off in the dirt and got loose, coming across in front of Sam in the Volvo. A large hit ensued, spinning Vaughan and sending Sam into the concrete. Vaughan did a fantastic job of keeping his head and staying in the race, and it shows with his podium finish.

Cheers!

I still have no idea why the car turned on me after we touched... I was clearly driving back on, in the video, then it just hooks a hard right... later in the race I ran wide there on my own accord, as we all have on occasion, and it was zero drama rolling right back on track...

I see the same thing in the rear mirror of my video. I'll watch it again and see if I see any answers...
