ReidSpeed NASA Hyperfest Summit Point race report

Good to see you there Todd.  That other car was just too strong in your class.  Jason Mahoney had a great showing in Spec E30 for his first race in a year.  I managed 2nd twice in a strong GTS3 field ( and was lucky to end up in 2nd).   I had a vacuum leak and had to safety wire the resonance flap and varioram wide open.  That forced me to use lower gears when I needed to be up a gear ( drops 50hp below 5K with them open instead of closed) so I had to stay in the upper rpms everywhere. Eric Wong had car trouble all weekend and Josh Smith cruised to 1st in both races.  Qualifying on Sunday was in the rain which benefited me for pole position.  The BMW's were really strong and well driven.  I spent most of the race battling for 3rd allowing the front two to scoot away.
