Oh man...last lap fireworks! Congrats to Craig for the sweep and to Alex for a tough fought weekend! Probably not the weekend our West coast representative Mr Drennan wanted...but all things considered, respectable! Nice job!

[True North]

We had a great time tracking the live timing, we can only imagine how it was at the track.

Please post in car video when you guys can.

What a great weekend! Never dreamed a sweep was possible with this field! I want to THANK everyone for all the support! The last lap and turn 17 side by side with Lamb was beyond cool!... Will post video soon

Yikes side by side in 17!  Congrats on the sweep.  I'm guessing there are lots of stories from that last lap.

 I'm guessing there are lots of stories from that last lap.

You mean the last lap that never happened according to the Bolanos protest supported by the SOM? The '"story" won't be final for a while...court of appeals. SM man-drama to kick off the '14 season...uhhg. Unbelievable and disappointing.

Hey Mark, hope you had a good weekend regardless.  I'm guessing there was lots of that throughout the field.  Unfortunate.

Uhhhhh really?

yikes,  COTA revisited.

Ok can someone clue us in as to what was protested?????

[Keith Andrews]

I'm not sure why there would be a protest.  Maybe it was from the officials.  The race was either 40 minutes or 15laps.  It looks like the should have waved the checker instead of the green.   

[Todd Lamb]

I'm not sure it's a very big accomplishment to win it under yellow due to a protest. I thought we all raced until the checkered flag.

Would that be the same SOM that choose to wave the green flag then give the win back to the yellow flag leader over .01 seconds?

Based on what I hear...those that raced hard the last non lap know who won this race! And who moved up, crashed and fell back because of the last lap. Not the way most would take a win. As Todd says...you race to the Checkered! Just my sideline .02 which isn't worth a nickel

[Michael Novak]

I am assuming we timed out? Did the sups say 15 laps or 40 mins completing the lap---- or whenever you hit 40 minutes----maybe we ended at like turn 3? Maybe they will pay for all the cars that got tore up?


I see it like a black flag---- bring you in and find out they grabbed the wrong car--- race goes on....

Was there really a Josey Wales racing or was that someone else?

[Jim Drago]

If the the last lap didn't count does that mean that my car isn't going to be damaged in the trailer when I get home?

Very disappointing that someone would file such a protest and want to win in that fashion.

[Greg Kimble]

Pat,

 

I believe Josey Wales = Andrew VonC, at least the car number is the same as Andrew's.

I noticed that someone (AVC?) #67 was racing under the moniker 'Un Forgiven' in SFR.

I see a theme

[Strongbad]

I mean 'SRF' not 'SFR' (just finished watching the game).

[svvs]

was it meathead or OPM that made up shirts that said "Spec Miata...I'm here for the man drama" or something to that effect?

 

sorry to hear about torn up equipment.  bad mojo for all involved.

 

hope to see some of you big guns up at NJMP for that major.

[Mastek]

I agree with Jim - it would be extremely disappointing if a participant protested in order to improve their position under those circumstances.
