Don't worry about it - FCYs make racing more exciting.

Somebody drop something?

Maybe it was a piece of Jay North's diff?

Same exact punture cost Todaro, Drago and I the NASA 8 hour at road atlantis last year...

we finished on that flat tire 1 whole lap on a flat, scarey as he ll turning right but sweet turning left

[Matt Montes]

I wanted to get the car into the pits but didn't want to take a chance on being a moving chicane for the leaders due to the scary as hale right handers. So I decided to park it by the pace car and stay out of the way.

Here's mine:



Started 9th, finished 4th. Good race except for misjudging where Greg S.'s braking point was in the keyhole, he was having issues with right handers and broke quite a bit earlier than me, should have noticed that one...sorry Greg. Maybe should have bumpdrafted Justin the first time down back straight, but was worried about Blake and Taylor training me if I was the caboose on a three car bump draft. Second time on Justin's bumper, wanted him to move over to draft, but signalled too late...sorry Justin.

Had a chance to move up on the last lap and podium when the leader overslowed for a local yellow, timed it right, got a good run, but Alex defended quite well. Caused me to have to lift, letting Greg S defend into China Beach..

Congrats on a great drive to Yiannis, Alex, and Greg! Fun racing with everyone, Justin, Chris P., Adam, Steve, Blake, Taylor, David, fun putting some names with faces and cars! Didn't really get to meet everyone, hopefully next time. Crappy luck on the motor Justin

Thanks to V2 Motorsports for a well sorted racecar, East Street for last minute, quick ship transmission and rear end, and Jim Stewart for a competitive motor!

I still think sending the safety vehicle to T1 on the last lap was a bad idea.

Saw Greg's in-car. Pretty impressive drifting in the keyhole. Maybe he'll post it here.

Nice video but what is up with those hand movements on the straights? Are you humming a tune, listening to your ipod, or do you turn into Dr. Evil when you get behind the wheel?

Here is my point of veiw for the Friday Quilfying Race. At the end you will see the incident. Don't worry I fix the super bright screen in the Champ video that will be up later.

Here is Yannis's veiw from the back when the incident happens.

Nope . . . the axle seal was dripping onto the exhaust when loaded in the keyhole -- that's what all the smoke was from. Didn't lose any parts (fortunately).

Not the Miata race but some crazy calls by NASA.

From NASA.
Car #08 SU has been disqualified based on rule 27.11.5 "Any contact resulting in a "punt" as defined by these guidelines" as per Figure 4 on page 110 of the CCR.

I just re-reviewed your video and dean martins. He clearly gives you 3/4 of a car, heck, your right side wheels aren't even in he dirt. You have to be willing to go off track to accomplish an overtaking pass like that. There was clearly no reason to attempt a pass like that in hat location and caused an unsafe maneuver on track. I'm sorry but my ruling will stand as is.

In car from both cars.
