ReidSpeed Ford Probe victorious at Summit Point!

[fasthonda]

hi guys!

i'm back from the last NASA race weekend of the year;  we were racing at Summit Point (they finished repaving it the day before!!!!).   the new pavement is very fast, and very much to the Probe's liking.  i set a new PTE track record of 1:27.54 during qualifying on sunday, and i am not even sure what my lap times were during the race (i didn't hang around long enough for the printed results). 

here is a clip of sat's race;   i had the PTE pole, with the other PTE'ers behind me (all SE-Rs this time).  sat was a standing start (my favorite!!!!).   we had a red flag early in the race (two miatas crashed and rolled over in T10).  they brought us in and regridded us, and then restarted the race.  i stayed in first in PTE, and never looked back:

here is a clip of sun's race;  again i had the PTE pole, with all the PTE'ers behind me (i think we were all within about 3/4 sec).  sun was a rolling start.  again, there was a bad wreck during the race, and we got black flagged all.  this time, it was an nx2000 smashed in T3.  they brought us in, cleaned up, and restarted us.  again, i went wire to wire in first position in PTE! :

entering the weekend, i was second in championship points in PTE;  two wins eeeeked me just enough ahead to clinch the championship!!!!   

enjoy!

PS  i was down to the 'dreggs' of my consumables;  the tires were on their 8th day, and i was 'mix and matching' brakepads from my spares box;  autozone street pads, old carbotechs, raybestos, etc.  i'm glad there wasn't a third day, or i'd have been in deep trouble!
