Jeff's & mine seemed equal.  Nick makes up for rental power with skill.  Hoping Ralle doesn't buy an engine.  Kenny wins.

Some awesome mid-range power on that car - wow!  Making the 3-4 shift at the exit of 2 and pulling away from them?!

 

And BTW, I'm sure Aaron would say "Are you Italian or something? KEEP YOUR HANDS ON THE WHEEL!!!"  ;-)

This is my video from Sunday's race.  It was my first SCCA sprint race weekend of the year, and definitely showed in my race craft.  I need to get a bit better with proximity.

 

Started mid pack, finished mid pack.  I only showed the first part of the race because after this Amy gets by me in two laps or so, and then I'm on my own with no draft.  Mike LaMania, Joey G, and Mike Rossini (!) catch me, but I manage to hold position for the rest of the race.  LaMania had the pass basically made down the front straight, but he decided to push me rather than risk going side by side through one and having the other two cars get around us down the backside.

 

My car ran well all weekend, and no contact other than my rear bumper, and a "weaver" on the outlap of qualifying deciding to weave into me as I went to pass him.  Kessler helped me reset the toe and the car was basically back up to speed after that.

 

As always, good to see the entire crew from the NE.  Flatout was there in force, and Marc from Planet Miata is always great company.  Even got a visit from Mike Cefalo on grid!  It was cool that some guys from the south came out.  Not that I was able to be anywhere near them on track....

Yummy!

 

But how did you find that site?  I wish the photographer's info would be listed in the supps.

Domm:

 

I just happen to know Mike.  He is one of the photogs who lives near the track and is always there.  He also shoots the Joey G days.

 

I think he's going to the Glen this year, but I forget if it's for the majors or the sprints.  Feel free to email him and work something out if you are interested in a package.

 

There was another photographer at the track...Terry something or another I think.  I believe he got the shots of the Mustang that got destroyed because of the oil on the front straight.

 

I agree it would be great if they were in the supps, but I don't think the regions want to show favoritism.  Sometimes the photogs post to the SCCA forum, but I don't frequent that site.

I think Mike's and Terry's websites are listed in the Photography section of the SNJ region website. But agreed, nothing is ever done to promote the photographers at the track. It would surely help their businesses and provide the drivers with great entertainment.
