    thanks Marc! that makes me feel special......! Yes it was coming out of 6, letting the car drift out,crossed the rumble strips (on the right) and it snapped on me, long slide to try to save it but didn't. But hell I got to try out the safer barrier..........

    Just body work??

    As slow as that corner feels sometimes, there's obviously enough speed to send the car up the banking. I wondered what set you back so far after being right there in the fight from the start.

    I hope you didn't hurt it bad Charles. Did Greg run too or just Guy?

    Not Charles here, but Greg didn't run the event and wasn't there on Saturday. I think Guy or Charles said he wasn't racing again until the runoffs, but I might be wrong on that.

    Also, PM me your cell number. I lost it when I lost my phone a few months ago.

    Steve (E), Jeff M. was cussing his underprepared, underpowered "ride" all weekend...lol...seriously, car looked and ran great all weekend.

    We had a STRONG ITS field, and the Carolina contingent finished 10th to 15th or so each day in 25-30 car fields. I was lucky enough to lead the way both days, Jeff M. and Ron battled hard on Sunday for the spot right behind.

    And a special thanks to Christian Shipp for being "supercrew" for us this weekend. We had a couple of issues (electrical on the TR imagine that, and a toe problem on the Z) that we would not have had time to correct if he wasn't there to help.

    Thanks again.

    Good runs by all, and CLEAN....Charles, sorry to hear about your damage, that ZX looked SWEET. Nice car.

    Jeff,

    Stopped by your garage on Sat. after your race to offer my congrats. You and Ron both did a tremendous job for your first outing at "The Great Roval". Spoke to Christian "Super Crew" Shipp for a bit but you were "indisposed"!

    Hope to see you both on our turf again soon. You guys definitely held your own.

    See ya next time.

    Thumbs up

    Fellows,

    Thanks much for all the help at Daytona and I really appreciate all the people that stopped by to say hello. We definitely felt welcome, much thanks!!

    Marc and Christian, extra thanks goes out to both of you for getting us to where we were for the weekend. That track talk about and drive around was INVALUABLE for getting out there and feeling comfortable at quite an intimidating track. I hope to be able to return the favor to you guys in the future.

    What a blast, fantastic weekend. I liked racing Daytona far better than I thought I would. Definitely an experience to remember. Florida region is excellent - well put on show and everyone I met was extremely helpful.

    Here is a picture that Ron Munnerlyn, one of our Carolina posse, took of Jeff and I. Ron had a fantastic SM race finishing 7th on Sunday. Great spot in a tough field on a new track!

    Thanks again!
    Ron
