Top 5 covered by one second....looks like the run-offs, except for the old car with the fold-down headlights messing up the parade!

Dunno, but Long and Buras leading now. That's pretty interesting! Something must have happened to Berry, and now full course caution? I hope everyone is okay.

Race ended under caution, Berry looked to has a small lead and than he's out and that ended the race

Looked like he was clear of Drago by several car lengths and closing on an SSB at 3 seconds a lap. I think everyone's mixed class fears came true.

Aparently Dewy had it all right, the fix is in... Let Buras win in the 1.6 and all is good in SM land LOL...

On a serious note sounds like Berry caught up in other classes wreck and it caught up some others. Letting Long and Buras run through for the win.

Not sure thats how Buras wanted to win, but all the contingency checks cash the same... congrats Buras!

There always seems to be DRAMA with SM and Road America.



Voytek had a loose wheel and pulled off at the end of the pace lap, terrible for him, he was fast.

The short story with one to go I was on Craigs tail, literally 1-2ft apart going into kink at 110 mph. We entered behind a lapped Sm, don't know who. Craig and I were at Full throttle through kink. Two cars crashed in the kink, pretty badly. The lapped car checked up very hard with Craig on his bumper, Craig checked up even harder, I locked brakes and got into Craig, Craig into lapper, Craigs diff housing broke and could not continue. Neither of our cars are very bad, but the incident sucked, out of class VW and another SM in the wall, one on the left one on the right.

Tom and Todd came through the wreck I was behind Craig trying to get him going but he was done with broken diff housing.

Tom was moved to third for passing under yellow or Contact, not sure which..

Really hate the way the race went and hate that Craig was unable to finish.

No one wants to win that way. No one should lose that way.


The only bright side is the top four cars were all from East Street, I would have preffered a fifth place finish in a better race as would most of the others.

I am fortunate to have great friends as Team mates! Congrats Todd, Pat and Craig.

Thanks for all guys...

Oh yeah, on last thing David Dewhurst, the SM world is waiting! :)
