Hille and Francis both got shuffled back. Bummer.

Hille was in great shape to win this thing if he had clean qual race. And Francis could have made a run at the podium if he held his position.

Maybe they still can if it rains tomorrow?

I missed it. Finishing order?

I like to catch up on the forums during lunch, and every time I read one of your posts, I either get heartburn from hale or explosive diarrhea. I'm sure I'm not alone.

Here's an idea: don't read his posts.

From RaceMonitor:

Never mind. I think I originally posted by fast race lap.

Great Lakes in da house!

Order might get shuffled up after contact with leaders.

After watching the patience run thin today, I have a feeling the race tomm will be pretty rough!

Heard a few were helped off course, any thing going on behind the scenes??

[Rob Burgoon]

Ok. Who punted the kid?

And where do we send the beer?

[suck fumes]

Can't share details till all paper is done.

I'll be in the stands tomorrow - Good luck to all!

TSOUNIS, is the real deal, no one seems to give him much love.

We raced against him at Mid Oh Nationals about 6 weeks ago and he won both events. Shawn was on his bumper at the finish line at the Sunday race, he runs really strong. The only weak spot in his game is that his car sometimes starts to fade about midway through the race, but he is usually very fast at the beginning.

Good luck to all, wish we were there.

Udell made a bone headed move as jr was going for a pass on me at the end of the back straight, udell went to the inside of Francis. He was in the grass slightly before apex, hit the curb and shot into the side of Francis, sliding into me. I was able to drive though the beach and get back on track. He did the same thing to charb yesterday. Kid needs to get his head on straight.

[JRHille]

Jr drove a great race, give him some credit.

[High Chair]

Jr drove a great race, give him some credit.

If his car gets torn down and he is found compliant then there will be a lot of people that will give him credit; including me. Until then the jury is still out!

Ernie Jr here

As you all know I finished 3rd in the qualifying, and I am here to tell you that after it we had the top 3 cars go to the dyno. I was one of them. I am not going to say the numbers for the others except I was 1 hp and 1 tq less then the other 99. So you all know my 1999 car ran 118.5 hp and 109 tq. I am telling you all this so you know that I don't have any massive amount of power, it was all driving.

Best regards

By my math, that's about 128 /118 in "non Champs week" numbers. That's OK, that's about what it takes.

Of course, this assumes you didn't put a whiffle golf-ball in the intake while waiting in line and bleed the tires down to 11 psi on pit lane. (Some secrets are too funny not to bring up every once in a while).

We don't even need names ... we'll accept answers in terms of State flag, yes?

FYI
The people doing the Dyno made sure to check all tire pressures and make them equal. And the tech officials watched the entire time so no one can touch the cars.


On another note
I would like to thank Alex and Charbs for speaking up and showing video to help prove Alec was at fault. Also I would like to that Gilfus for helping me out set up the car.

Tomorrows another day, I will be starting from the mid to back, and I'll have fun and see how many cars I can get by in 45 mins. Lol

What accounts for a 7.5% loss from "non Champs week" numbers? Doesn't look like it's very hot in Lexington, OH today. Just curious...

Looking forward to watching the championship race online tomorrow!
