Bad news on my car, the # 3 piston has a hole on the top. Looks like the engine is coming out for a full rebuild. Hope to be back on the track for the NASA race at NJMSP in June.

Some LRP Pix.

Struggled with a balky gearbox all weekend and got "rubbed" on the downhill during qualifying, but managed to complete both races - friday's enduro (1 hr) and saturday's 20 lap sprint race.

Richard,

Who do you contact to see if there are photos of your own car?

Miles,

Yes. These shots are from friday's enduro. The contact happened after lunch on saturday during qualifying for the sprint race. The "wrinkle" is now on the right (passenger's) rear quarter just under the "a" in amy.

Great shots. Looks like a fantastic weekend. Glen should be great. Are you going to be fixed up in time Joe?

No embarassment there; if his car hadn't broken, Charlie Boyer would have won that race.

A couple more. Norm Mandel & Gary Savill (very fast 968); and the white 911 that contacted my car. Very nice fellow, came over to apologize afterwards, and I did likewise - although I was pitting and he sort of appeared under (inside) me on my right (which is where to move over to pit) in the downhill.
