Drago is a pal, but what happened was not right.


Seriously Pat. Just wondering, have you ever raced?

I have an opinion so I must be right

This is the reason I didn't go to RA this year. I am glad however that they have great tech once again!!!! Now just pray that the appeals board doesn't reinstate them if in fact they are really blatantly cheating.

I know it isn't pollitically correct to go against Drago on this site, but anyone sitting in the stands at 5 saw what happened, it might have been justifiable, but from a rep. from the SCCA they should know better.

Live feed wasn't clear, for all I know steve turned into Drago. If comments about the rest of the week are true that seems very possible. But, as good as Drago was all week seems like if he had given up that corner it wouldn't have mattered, he would have won. Whats that saying "you can't win it on the first lap but you can lose it". Unfortunately that came true for the guy that in all likelihood would have won it.

I'm just filling in until he's back :)

Great run for Andrew in the SSB race until his car went into limp mode.

Andrew went into limp mode? Does his wife know?

Pat, just saying you wouldn't know until you've been there. It sucks BIG to get taken out of a race you could win.

Just got a phone call that the results are official as of 2 minutes ago. I'll let someone who is there post the outcome, I'm sure he/she will in the next few minutes.

Can't wait to hear details.

I didn't see the live feed interview.

So Steve G did the old "he must be cheating because I'm cheating, and he still beat me!" :lol:

Congrats Andrew and Voytec for their 2nd and 3rd finishes!!!!


Andrew needed something from the week other than his normal good time, congrats. :thumbsup:

Congrats Voytec, thought out, implemented & very cool. :yep:

Also Voytec, I presume some of the new knuckle heads took your place on the totem pole. You get the :angel: award for this Runoffs.

Hey, the two of you Dudes from Texas want in on the 1.6 motor costs from Drago per JD1's suggestion? It's put up time. I really don't care who drives my car as long as they have met my expectations on track & I would like for them to be of the lighter varity so that side weigh is a better balance. Some of you needed the heavy weight class within the Spec Miata class. :duck: I'm waiting for the over 70 class to be added within the Spec Miata class. :rolleyes:

To those who are speculating on the 44/2 issues there were two of them. One of the quite guys has some from behind video (don't go there Blake) & more than just Pat was high in the bleachers in T5 for the retalation. There was also a 17/2 issue in qualifying. There was a 17/12 issue in qualifying.

Come on guys/gals, what other issues came to life during the week?

The OPM food is no longer life dated. Wheelers never was. The ladies do a nice job. :wub:

Andrew, when you get here, how rich was she?

Off to SpeedCast for the E production car race. < This is a :grouphug: compared to Spec Miata.

2/44 did mix it up for a bit but it did not decide the race and was perfectly legal, PERIOD!!
