Larry:

Congratulations on your win today. My strategy "almost" worked. I went in early and tried to gap the higher hp cars hoping for help "a little later" in the race. Chris broke a control arm and lost his chance to race you for the win and ended the race early. I was penalized one lap along with the a 993 Cup Car and a prepared car as we raced up to the double yellow at start/finish. The corner worker at the bus stop dropped double yellows after we went through and we did not see the lights as the sun made it hard to see on Nascar 3 & 4. I am going to plead my case to the steward. It dropped me to 8th in class (4 spots dropped) plus I lost 14 seconds in the pits (another spot). It was a great weekend and you got more out of your car than anyone I raced against. Happy Birthday!

Surreal speed as You turn through the trioval, wait for the 150-125 ft marker and brake into 1 at @175 mph when You got it right in the 997 Cup.

Some very bad offs today, serious track.

We all need to share with each other the need to make a fundamental rule of only one move. You get one move, up or down, left or right, then You have to stay there until You are passed or apex the corner. It is common practice amongst real racers and we need this club to embrace it immediately and enforce it. One move, share it with Your Race Friends, practice it yourselves. We all benefit from it. It can save lives and equipment.

The costs for errors is high in the game we have all chosen to play...

Wow, Glen, I left before the last enduro. Were there bad incidents in the last race caused by blocking, etc? The big off in the purple enduro seemed to be a single driver error only, not a result of "racing".

Cool on the hat, Larry. I hope I can have the organizers send me mine. I'd like to have my second...

...aaah, another weekend, another race under my belt. I love racing and on a track like Daytona it is icing on the cake. The weather couldn't have been any better. I was able to run into a few of you around the garages and wish I could have seen more. Maybe next race!

My favorite line for the weekend came while walking through Daytona USA Saturday night. Richard Petty said: "When did they invent car racing? The minute the second car was made."

Larry Herman

Well your start sure worked. All I saw was this blue streak flying way up past everyone. You must have picked up 7 or 8 places right off the bat! That was some real crafty driving.

BTW, it was a pleasure to meet you and your boys. I love it when my boys come to watch me race too. Seeing as how we all do DE's together, and they want to start racing, I guess that pretty soon it will be the other way around.

Wow Larry, that great driving with that new motor is working out real well. Have you done any suspension work to the car since you've had it? Great stuff.

Can't wait to see Leh's video again.

Glen,

It was great to finally meet you! And yes, your comment is right on. That happened to me in turn 4 with another cup driver who made 3 block moves in the banking at over 160 mph knowing damn well he was going to get passed. Scary stuff!

But it was an awesome weekend with great weather at one bad *** fast race track. We are indeed lucky people!

Anybody have the Gold enduro race results yet?

Watching all the racers on Saturday was a blast. Leh Keen was incredible. Congrats to the class winners.

Anybody know when results will be posted?

Glad that most of you made it through the weekend ok. Seeing all the carnage, I'm glad I stayed home.

How did the Michelins hold up on the cup cars? Any blow outs or delaminations?

Glen, let me know how you liked Brent's 997!

Eon S.--this is for you. A pic taken at Suncoast Region's DE at Sebring last month. It's driven by Rich Tillotson, Suncoast Region Chief Driving Instructor and head of the 911 Carrera 74'-75' National Register.

I'll post more pics from Daytona and describe my adventures as Corner Captain at turn 5 as soon as I get the pics.

Regards, Doug

Colin and Crew Thanks so much for keeping us Green with Envy people Posted on the race. Cant tell you how much I appreciated that.

Colin glad the car turned out to be on the minor side, guess they 13nd ya for that one.

Glen great comment on the "One Move" practice. Had an almost incident at SP race due to slower car making "Many Moves", its on my video a white 911 I almost rearended on top of t3.

Hey - does anyone have the name, number or email address of the outfit taking digital pix at Daytona this past weekend? I hear it is a husband and wife team that has done a great job with several PCA races and sell the digital photos of your car on a CD.

Thanks

I have purchased a cd of my car pictures from the 48 Hours at Sebring event and they were very good.
