Mid Ohio was a great event as usual. It was good seeing everybody. For the most part racing was very clean all weekend. Mid Ohio is a tough track to get through traffic. Jim C, I can see why you like the Pro course. I really love the chicane, but another place to pass under braking would be nice.

I qualified well, and had a great battle with Steve Schardt (maroon/silver 944 TS F class) and Jim Child (black 968 E class). Things get a little crazy in the carousel with a couple laps to go.
Well here is the video. Hope you guys enjoy it.

Great drive Doug! Looks like a great race. Wish I was there.

 

Great stuff, Doug!

 

Thanks guys.
It was a fun video to make
Andy,
Hey I signed up for the Glen a couple of days ago, and got in so I will see you next week. I will be camping in my trailer like you and Steve. See you at the track. I'm sure I will be hitting you up for some of your knoweledge.

 

Tough break there Doug, but a very nice drive up to that point.

 

Great drive Doug! Wish I could have been there. Looks like you, Schardt, Hupfer, Childs, and Turek were all running similar times. With Hupfer up ahead and out of the mix, it would have been a great time!

 

wow, why did Jim check up like that?

 

Because I was completely off line entering the Carousel with the two 944's on the inside. There's no way I would have made the corner without some extra braking.

Thanks for posting the video Doug! It was a lot of fun. Sorry you had to take evasive action.

 

Jim,
No problem man, you did not do anything wrong. I just really wanted us both to get by Schardt on the outside . That was just racing. I'm just glad I did not hit anything.

 

Me too! "Anything" probably would have been me

 

Damn Doug. That is just bad luck at the end. Nice move though to avoid contact.
You drove a solid race.

 

Judging by the 5-7 car lengths the #717 car would open up on you during the backstretch, I'm assuming he's in a "faster" class? Or no?

A nice drive...you had some great runs coming out of BB.

 

Great driving Doug. When Jeff Parnell told me about you finishing ahead of MH himself in one of the races, I was really thrilled for you.

See you in the paddock and on the track at the Glen.

I won't dive bomb you from 100 feet back and shoot rocks at your car at this event

After many therapy sessions, I'm over that now so your go to go.
See you next week.
Are you doing the drivers ed?
I am doing the Thursday.

 

Yep. I will get there on Wednesday evening, for the DE on Thursday. First time out this year, first time out at the Glen. I'll look you up. Safe travel.

Fred
