Stinger race on Saturday; i got the start all wrong, accordianed up and down; just plain sucked for me! some pretty close racing for the first 5 laps (especially me and crazy Joe (blue Nissan SE-R in PTE); he was mega on my back door most of the time!). then the big multi car wreck in T10 on lap 5, and the red flag. overall position was second in PTE; Gregg (the national champ from VIR) was running away from me..... :

Stinger race on Sunday; i got a MUCH better start; not good enough to get ahead of Gregg, and then he ran away from me, anyway; wouldn't have mattered, he and the damn maroon egg were way too much for me and the 'Stien, at least this last weekend! freaking camera stopped after about a 1/3 the way thru the race; i burned out my tires with about 1/3 of the race left, and was trying to protect them, and here comes crazy Joe again; he was on my back door at the checkered flag; if the race had been a lap or two longer i think there would have been a war!!!! overall position was second in PTE, again:

PS the track was 'slow' both days; at least for me. i guess it was the heat, and the drifting (they had a drifting competition going on in between the race heats, from T5 to T9; and the cars ground in a TON of rubber, and oil, and dirt into the track), and the pavement condition, my best laptime was a 1:29.3; that would have probably been a very low 1:28 on a normal 'good track' day....
