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! :

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!
