Yep, it was a bit nervous making to see that great oil cloud, but good that nobody actually broke despite the smoke!
BTW, I think you owe me a beer for leaving the door open for you at the start of that race
Great racing with you, and I'm sorry we didn't actually meet up. Next time, OK?
Brian,
Yep, that would be right given Doug's time. Despite trying to give Louis his record back, it now belongs to Doug - CONGRATS!
Lane,
Charlie M told me all about it Saturday night, and he was completely stright about having made a weight error when settign up the car for the race. They run that car is NASA/HSR/and maybe even SCCA, so they just had the wrong weight. I don't think Charlie or Timmie would be claiming that time as a F car.

so i was thinking (i know, dangerous of me 
)and i had a question about that. i think timmy's lap record was set during quali. he didn't get DQ'd until race 1. so wouldn't the record stand? i would think that the time would only be voided if it occurred during the event the person was DQ'd. there really isn't a way to prove that he was underweight for quali at this point.

Not sure if he hangs out on here, but that was good stuff. I still wish I'd been able to hold him off for just one (or two) more laps though... yeah, its a tricky situation. its things like that which probably mess up the automation behind the updating process you have set up.

I know Charlie, and I know he's a good guy. I have to give Timmy his due credit though. To start in the back of the pack for Race 2, after being DQ'd in Race 1, and make it to the front for the overall victory... well thats just damn fantastic driving.

For anyone's that interested, I've got some pics posted online from the PCA Potomac Club Race. This time around, my wife, Cindy, lugged the camera to various points, and I must say she did a terrific job snapping pics. I did the post-process stuff (deleting, tweaking, cropping, etc.) but she did all the initial capturing!
Here's a link to my online gallery:

Please note that that you can right-click on the pics onscreen and save them directly to your computer for free. However, they will contain the watermark in the lower right corner. And they will be of lower resolution quality. On the site, you can also purchase either hardcopy prints or download a higher-rez copy for your personal use for a nominal fee. If any pictures are of special interest to you (commercial use, publication, etc.) please let me know and I can work with you to provide a full size original copy of the pic file.
Cindy & I hope you enjoy them!

I spoke with you briefly at VIR during the NASA race. Did you ever get a chance to check out the Air Oil Separator, or for excessive vacuum under the oil fill cap?

i recall the conversation. i unscrewed that cap or whatever you told me and it seemed to be fine. i think it was just too much oil. i didnt have any problems at VIR.
