Thanks for posting the video Todd 
It was a fantastic weekend...my new motor and trans held up quite nicely and my car is working great.
I wish I qualified as well as I start...I like being on the outside of T1 at VIR and Summit...esp Summit with the rumble strips on-line now.
I thought I was doing relatively well blocking Harper. Through T10 I was about 1.5 car widths off the outside, I was worried about him going inside, but instead he goes exactly on-line and passes me on the exit. I guess I should have went inside and out-braked him into T1....but at the time I thought it was best to let it go. In retrospect, I should realize he isn't going to dive bomb me because of how he drives.
Harper ended up passing that yellow Civic and then I immediately did so also. I ended up trading back and forth with that car though (out of class) and couldn't get back up. Things got more complicated as I was trying to stay out of the H5 race, the H1 race, and the leaders in Spec Miata.
I'm interested to see the lap times of that Sunday race. I was in the low 1:30's all weekend, but I want to see if I broke into 1:29 in that Sunday race.
Great example video of the racing we do!!!
