A weekend full of highs and lows. Highs: P3 in both sprints and P2 in the enduro. Lows: my record has fallen. Some interloper set a new low of 1:23.3. Whatever. It wasn't that important to me anyway. It's not like I had shirts made. Well, not a bunch anyway.

This was the biggest field of SPB's in the history of our annual race. 23 cars signed up. What a blast!

The enduro started off well. Then it got better once I worked my way around E traffic. Then it got even better when I got around Robbie Provost (who drove is *** off all weekend and gave me a hug when I needed it ). And then even better when Provost's car exploded. At that point I was assured P2!

Then a little wiggle in T1 sent me off to the outside of T2 where I patiently watched 26 cars drive by while I waited to be waved back on track.

Man was I pissed. Just screaming in my head. What a screw up. Cost me everything. And it was hot.

Side note: apologies to anyone caught by surprise. I stopped where I could see a corner worker but I was right at track out for T2. It was a really terrible place to sit. And I couldn't see anybody coming due to the angle of the track. The next time ( ) I'll drive up the grass so I'm parallel to the track and at the point the line crosses to track right I'll ease back on.

Anyhoo, I found myself with a monumental task ahead of me. Get back to P2. And I did it. From 3rd to 2nd to 1st back to nearly last then back to 2nd. Crazy race. Non-stop pushing to regain positions. A shout out to Steve Wilson and Shane Howard for working my pitstop. I barked at Shane when he asked me if I wanted some water. I was furious at my predicament. Shane just wanted to give me some water but only if I wanted it. He didn't deserve that. Thank you Shane. Thank God for that second yellow. That closed the gap between me and P3/P2 (Biedler and Belles) who were running together and I chased Evan and Clarke, who made a hole on the restart, past P3 and then as fate would have it as I closed in on P2 (Belles) his transmission let go. P2 was mine! Longest enduro I remember in a long time

That lost my momentum Chris and Hunt blew by and gave Hoyt a good run. Chasing Hoyt until I spun the car at 5 and Mike got by. 3 races 3 5th place finishes. Not bad for a old man!
