Seemed to be a good weekend up to the point that I left TWS this morning. A large group of folks I have coached were VERY racy. 
There were a surprising number of contact-related incidents (not involving the aforementioned folks) on Friday & yesterday, unfortunately, as well as whole rafts of people missing black flags & passing under yellow flags, to the point the chief steward was sort of pissed. Friday weather was awesome, yesterday was truly atrocious, today was clear but windy & cold.

Rookies missing flags ? Or people that should know better ?
Sounds like he had good reason to be pissed if it was whole rafts of people missing flags. Missing flags = big no-no.

I believe it was primarily non-rookies, including a few very experienced racers. The dude in the 7Cup who won Friday's Red fun race--a very experienced racer--missed an entire lap of black flags & was DQ'd for this. The contact incidents were also primarily involving non-rookies, IIRC (I could be wrong about this).

Ok, I have to say more. For the first time in my very short racing career, I saw a sign intended for me that said "Go to scales" when I drove into the paddock. I had a very good weekend. My 13 is gone, and so is my X.

Way to go Mike! With a field of 72 for the combined race Sun. afternoon, I didn't hear any reports of contact over the radio and, very few off track excursions.

I went as an observer. Snapped about 170 pictures.

It was a decent weekend. No body damage this year for me. Little better times considering how many changes Ive made to the car and it is a wonder I could keep it on the track. Still dissapointed in my performance. Got lots to learn... VR Ill let you know when Im ready to step up
Hope I did not hold up the race too much on the last race sunday. My tires gave way and so I bolted on lap 4. Best time for me all weekend was a
1:57.1 on last years tires. Next year I hope I can do a little better. Wish I lived closer to that track so I could practice entering turn 2 better. Cory and Olcha just stomped through there. Makes me sick...
