It's been an odd weekend!!!! But we had a little fun today. Mosg of the Rennlist drivers did really well. I hope tomorrow will be more normal and people who do not belong out there are 13/13'd. Due to luck and being careful I won the 2 sprints today (the 1st one without finishing a lap under green, it was ugly!). Tomorrow I will try to go faster and get a lap time I can be proud of.

Day 2 started off with more rain.....I'm getting tired of changing tires. I think I've made 8 plus changes in 2 days.

F Class racing has been real good. Roger Funk, Chalrles Belluardo and I went at real well in Race 1, luckily Charles had to make a quick switch at trun 1 due to a car sliding out in front of him and I slid into 2nd. I caught up to Roger Funk and he had a run off at turn 5 which gave me the win. All on the last lap. Whew...

Sprint 2 was another good race with Jerome, another Rennlister, and I going at for about 5 laps. That Turbo 944 can really pull on the straights. I finally got by him coming out of the Octopus and could finally see Mr Funk a few cars ahead. No way I would catch up to him because the race was shortened to about 20 minutes.

Lot's of carnage throughout the day, some real nice cars took it hard. Luckily no one was hurt except their pocketbooks.

Day 3 should have some great weather but I won't be there. Off to take my daughter back to College. Hopefully she remembers this when I'm old and need some care.

I was teasing. They'll let anyone in.

i made this comment after my De last year, i do not understand how the civil engineer screwed this one up, brand new track and nothing but water problems when it rains, what happen to the drainage!!
