Whose rental car (#4) is Jon Brakke and is it a capable car?
Looks like it belongs to Jim Wickersham. I believe that is a Competition Autowerks car.
Nice!

A lot to report on what was a "mini" Runoffs!
Let's start with the 300+ entrants that were lined up Thursday night and waiting to get in. When the hoard was released at 6 pm it was like a goat roping contest with big rigs, medium rigs, and little rigs driving in all directions at max speed! We were lucky enough to be in already because of the HOD day....we set up chairs and drank beers and watched the cluster FoCK for an hour. Why SCCA won't simply create paddock pit numbers and assign them to competitors is beyond me. It is going to be a freaking mess when 500+ competitors get in line(with people they want to pit with no less) and are told good luck! At least if people know ahead were they are going to be...the crowd will filter in naturally over time...no mad rush!
On to SM and the weekend. First off...the starts for both races were pretty poor IMO. Granted this was a regional and P20-55 are not going to be at the Runoffs. But the back of the pack barely got through turn 10 when the green flag flew. Turn 11 is not much more than a 45mph turn and when the leaders cruise threw it fast it leads to everyone from P6 back coming through the corner almost at speed trying to catch up. If they catch up they jam on the brakes as those further back never have to because they catch up right as the green flies. Needless to say it gets a little crazy at turn 2! The 2nd double yellow restart today was nuts when a lapper was in P3. Drennan bolted as the pace car pulled off and he was going through turn 10...Drago followed but that poor lapper had no idea what was happening. Not sure if P4 pushed him or what but he literally pulled over before turn 11. Mark and Jim had a 4 or 5 second jump over the field at the start line!
Nice job for the home team(CA) with Mark Drennan taking the double win. I think Brian G had something for him both days but may have to retake shifting 101! Jim D did a great job learning the track after about 10 sessions and was right there both days...as was the other Eaststreet gang members.
Saturdays race was a little rough and tumble...today's race was a free for all A lot of contact and poor choices...some ended well while others didnt. I guess this is what happens when everyone in the top 20 thinks they are faster than the guy who qualified in front of them Very hard to make clean easy passes at Laguna when guys are so equal. Trying to get a nose under in late breaking was common...or simply using the front car as a second set of breaks also was popular! 2 double yellows in todays race...as I still predict will happen in the big one!
Nice putting faces to names finally with some of the guys back east! Look forward to next month!

One more thing... Don't scrub your tires in California!
They look at that as if you are driving a diesel duallie blowing black smoke right through the middle of a go green parade. It was pretty clear that all under my tent were from a much more "right" part of the country, both geographically and politically Not sure if Stearns even believes California is part of the US.

Hey Jim,
I sneak over here for a little while almost everytime I'm at Laguna. Reminds me we're still in Amercia. You'd never know it was 700 yards from turn 2!
