@Josh: isn't it all about results? Especially when you are in the battle for the lead why would you risk everything with a move like this? We can all see what the outcome was.
Sometimes less is more.

IIRC, this was the last lap. Just a point of info.
So what Andy. He could have set-up the pass differently or worst case, the ash tray he received at the end of the race might have to be a bit smaller. It's not just about one race. When people do silly things it also has a future impact on how they're raced again in the future.

See you guys at the Glen, we may break 50 cars and possibly 42 at LRP the week after. I am happy to hear that this event went off very well. We knew NJMP was going to be a great destination and finally the number are proving it. Thanks to everyone who supported this event.
LAST PLEASE RAISE MONEY FOR OUR EVENT AT LRP VETERAN HOMESTEAD!!!

i was part of this battle for part of the race. in my opipion the 33 car is fast. i was surprised at how aggresive he was throughout the race. i followed waiting for the 2 of them to end up in the weeds. i was right on one car. michael reece drove a great race. at one point i was shocked at how far back he,#33, initiated a pass goin into turn 1 on me and the 69. i backed out and let the pass happen. i was in no mood to have a wrecked car. he also dropped wheels endlessly. i count 4 stars in my windshield from the race. we had a great race at summit. i think he will get farther with a little patience.

Before the race, the two first rows had agreeded to work together to see if we could put some space on Andy who we knew would be storming through the pack. It helped Marc and Brian but I think it hurt me. I played nice on the start and on the first lap........ Maybe I shouldn't have!! LOL
Andy, you going to post your video? I would love to see the start you got!!

I am in-between cameras. I have one of those pimpy ones Hoppe uses on order. Would have been cool.
Love the 'special' point-by I got.

Jim Hess and I had a great battle for the IT7 win on Sunday, which Jim won by "...THAT much" - I must apologize for the 1 instance of contact, but I'm glad to say I got the worst of it (his bumper was not damaged!), and neither of us lost position due to it.
I'm trying to get my video up loaded. We were nose to tail, I passed him, he passed me ... and provided no one else comments on how bad my driving got, once I was leading, I'll share the link with y'all.

Anyone know when results will be posted on mylaps?
Left a message. Once I hear back or we see things posted on NeSCCA.com we will know.
Thanks,

FYI - Lightning Challenge results are now posted on MyLaps.com
Also, here is some more in car video from the ITR/ITS/ITB group race. We had a waived off start, an eventful ITR re-start, and a pass in the grass on lap #2. I edited the video so you wouldn't have to sit through the extra pace lap...
