Hey Steve,

It was nice to meet you this weekend. I had a blast double dipping in ITA and SM this past weekend. Glad to see that Protege still running. I really hope Alan Burgess from the Burned 944 is doing better.

Good to meet you as well come over to the dark side more often.

Didn't get to meet Steve in the protege this weekend, however he was all over my bumper and along side for a bit in the Saturday race.

Yes Steve I did make a pest of myself, too bad I ran out of talent in 6 and didn't catch back up to ya'. So good to have the car back running I can't wait til next month Sebring and Daytona again

Marc, thanks for posting that video. How Finley didn't get pounded when he corrected his spin and came back across the track is amazing or just the luck of the Irish. That kat can drive! It doesn't appear that he had any help turning around going into the turn. And it was awesome how he caught it before hitting the inside tires and turned it back around. That Kat can drive.

What your clip doesn't show is how Mike Flynn got really sideways as he exited turn one and my initial thought, as Finley snapped around backwards on my left, was that he was effected by seeing Irish Mike's loose looking exit just ahead of him. That combined with coming into the turn hot and tight inside, if he braked just a bit extra as Mike got sideways it might have turned Finley around.

I checked up a bit due to Finley going backwards and thinking he might slide out in front of me. Otherwise I might have made up a few feet on Irish Mike. While everyone scattered around the near wreck, Irish Mike was already going through the chicane and lapping the back of the field. Well, almost.

Alan Burgess the driver who got badly burned in the Group 3 race Sunday passed away yesterday afternoon. My prayers go out to his family.
