I would imagine Gorilla won. I hear there is only 1 person that can beat him and that person did not attend

Congrats Nick!

[Weekend Warrior]

Must be a story with this one as well? It seems Gorilla was 1 sec faster than everyone else.....

[Muda]

Alan, when isn't there a story?

Nick bettered Steve's best qualifying time by more than 3/10ths.
Starting grid was Nick, Steve, Elivan and Yannis.

Steve blew a shift at the green and fell back to almost DFL.
The video of Steve rocketing through the pack to get to about 8th by T5.....priceless.

Thanks for the link to the results Terry and many thanks for our own Qualifier and Race.
Another great weekend in NJ!

[svvs]

Muda, any links to the video?

[Mike Collins]

Meathead Racing had three cars. We had a great time and a super exciting finish where Ted Cahall was able to slip into 9th place and earn some national championship points. I will say that without a doubt there were several cars who qualified significantly faster than they ran the race.

Mike
What are saying? People caught out on conditions or people gaming the system?

Did anyone run their qualifying times?

I typical can run .5 or so faster in qualifying than in the race, some tracks more some tracks less. That first hot lap with good tires and low fuel and cool engine is worth 1 second easily if you can capitalize.

Jim

[Mike Collins]

Most of the top 10 finishers ran at, near or better than qualifying times. There were a couple of top 10 qualifiers who failed to replicate their qualifying times or even come close in race conditions. So yes I think a few people gamed the system.

[dmathias]

Which ones?

[Danny Steyn]

Not to detract from what is going on above but I wanted to send our a big congrats to Amy Mills who once again showed that she can really wheel a car.

To qualify 5th in a National with such a deep field is pretty amazing.

Unfortunately Amy messed up in the race!

[dmathias]

So, you're saying she wasn't a gamer?

[Danny Steyn]

Denny - I know Amy - way too straight an arrow to game the system, and unless Nick did it for her, she would have no idea how to!

But she can drive and she is getting faster every race.

[dmathias]

Danny, I'm a huge advocate for women in motorsports. I wish her all the best.

I'm just trying to figure out who Mike is referring too. Most drivers at this race were < 0.5 sec delta qual vs. race.

Although without Q1 available on MyLaps I'm missing data.

Denny you should change your name to Magnum PI!

The morning qualifier was a mess for all but those in the very front.
It was shared with the T & SS cars, many of which share lap times with the Miata field but get there in very different ways.
Also, the air and track temps were significantly cooler in the morning session.
My estimate is about 1 second quicker in the morning, if you could get a clean lap.
I got two in 25 minutes.

Danny, I think Amy might have had some car issues between her qualifying lap and the race.
But, after a terrible start, I came up on Whit a couple laps before the checker and he was driving better than I've ever seen.
Kept me behind him to the checker, he did.
Time for a husband/wife grudge match?

[svvs]

Wow, Amy qualled fifth?! That's great!

I spoke with her the other day....her comment was keeping things on the pavement is a big help to finishing well in the race! Whit beat her both days even though she out qualled him both times.

She also had a missed shift somewhere in there that could not have helped.

[dmathias]

I will if I get to drive a Ferrari...
