ReidSpeed race report from VIR North - vids inside!

hi guys!

the Probe and i did well this weekend! there were alot of PTE'ers, too; all told, 4 SE-Rs, a VW Golf, me, and an Acura Integra.   plus about 40 more other small bore cars in the heat!!!

i qualified 3rd on sat, and i finished 2nd on Sat behind #67, SE-R of Scott Willard -  it was a good race, from the very start to the very end; i had him at one point on the short back straight, when we went three abreast, but i gave it back due to a waving yellow caused by a car going off at the turn onto the crossover:

Sunday's race i had the PTE pole by less than a tenth, but i had a very good start (had to help that little black CRX a bit so that i could clear the #67 SE-R car directly on my left!!!!) and held the lead all the way to the checkered flag; at one point, #67 was right behind me, and tried to outbrake me into T1 (he has the Wilwood big brake kit on his SE-R);  game over!  he couldn't go in as deeply as i could, and he went off track to the outside;  and i never saw him again!

i've got to say -- Scott has that SE-R really moving; i couldn't gain an inch on the straights!!!! super super fast, well prepped out racecar!!!!

Darren Mingis was there racing in PTE too!  his Acura was running well;  looks as if it is getting sorted out!  at one point, i believe he was running 3rd or 4th in PTE!!!
