Thanks guys. The angry hairdresser's car treated me well today! Great fun! The Oregon racing community is truly a family- thanks for all of the support from Sean, Kyle, Ken, Bruce, Terrell, Mark L., Gary, Pat and all the rest of you guys! You're the best! Most importantly...

At the end of every race weekend, I tell my friend and racing mentor, Will Schrader "I couldn't have done it without you." We often say that but don't REALLY mean it, but in the case of Will, I literally mean it every time. I can't thank him enough for everything that he does to help me, both on and off the track. He is the most talented, genuine, kind, selfless and sarcastic (;-P) person I know. I love you man! Tito, pass me a tissue!

At this point, yes I must say a little jealous. Two well driven races Jordan. Had a blast! Congrats!

 

Big thanks to the Keenans for giving me a car that allows me to improve each time we hit the track.

And congrats to everyone else who hit the podium for the first time.  Joe, I can see a lot of tight races in your future :)  If I can just get Terrell to pony up for a new set of tires, we could see a train at the front!!!

Yikes, just saw that the Sat. race was shortened due to my swamp run at T6-7. Sorry y'all.

 

Great weekend other wise, even the oiled up T3-T8 stretch (thanks vintage) on Sunday provided a little mystery and suspense!

Hey Mark,

 

The outcome on Saturday wouldn't haved changed unless one of us broke, so no big deal. Jordan had it covered. Missed Terrell on Sunday after the fun we had on Saturday.

 

Thanks Bruce for the encouraging words and congrats to Tom Ferrara for the third place finish on Sunday.

Thanks all. Great weekend racing with you guys. As I've said many times, the Oregon SM posse is a top notch group of guys and gals, both on and off the track!

Joe Blair enjoyed his first SCCA event, even after losing a transmission and a diff in the STL race on Sat. Want to thank those who came up and welcomed him to SCCA, I believe him and his son are here to stay!

Welcome Joe!  Sorry I din't stop by to say hi.  My new duties had me hopping.  I'm having a hard time knowing who's new and who's not now days, so welcome to all.  AND my offer to some of the old guys stands for all of you.  I'll tell you anything you want to know about going fast in SM, drive your care on a test day, etc. No more secrets here... Nothing could please me more than to see the return of a 6 car train at the front!

Contgrats to Jordan for well deserved back to back wins!

 

Long time since I visited the site...probably as long as I've been away from racing. It was good to get back on track after a long absence. It was even better to race with my old and new friends. Some of the faces have chnaged but the DNA of Oregon SM racers is still in tack...the same great thing it was when I started many years ago.

 

I would like to say my weekend went off without a hitch but I had a couple of issue. The one that really compicated some of the session and drastivally shortend 2 was a clucth problem. THere were many, many man(woman) hours to fix what should have been a simple repair that was complicated by a defective NEW part. Need to thank the following for their time and effort; Kevin, Morgan(B Spec drive), Kyle, Dani, Will, Mark, even Sean H who helped with a part(that I still need to pay him for) for keeping me on the track :)

 

So for anyone who is thinking about racing, join Oregon SM...there is nothing better than this group. They will do anything to help and keep you on track (occasionally they may knock you off it too...LOL ;)  )
