Thanks Ron. I really thought I was side by side with the blue car as I committed to the second apex (I have some nice pictures that show we were real close to even half way through) but he had more speed then I did and arrived just before me, so technically (I guess) he didn't need to leave me room. It was ruled a racing incident. I was stuck out on track so long and then scrambling to find my way through the paper process that I never got to talk to the other driver...probably best.


Not sure who was driving the blue Mazda but like you said Jamie, probably best. Haha.

There were 2 laps where I'm not actually sure what happened. There was trying to get him by without problems an without hitting any e30s but also racing hard enough to not open the door for Charlie and all his buddies....I pointed the Mazda by before the flag stand (because he was just sitting in my mirror) and even with all that speed we ended up door to door at the top of the hill?? COME ON!!

Will get my videos up after work today...

Here is my 50 Min race
A few close calls throughout the race.

The car felt funny after the E30 contact in turn 4, wonder why?
Nothing a little JB weld cant fix.

Well Kyle, I think you've officially taken the "Counter Steering King" title away from Darin this year! :D
Not sure how you guys deal with the E30's during the race...because I find myself yelling at them on the video :smash:

I love the little "I'm here" tap into 11.

Granted, those guys are racing each other and don't want to lose ground either...it's to bad these cars run together as they are so close in speed...just get it done a little differently.

As much as I get "screwed" because of e30 traffic it makes it fun and slightly more challenging.

A little late to the party...but...here is Race 1

Big shouts to Jamie and Kyle for some hard, but clean, racing.

Will try to edit down the other race sometime...



(PS - Just posted the video at 6:30pm on 11/20 - so give it sometime...)
