A really fun weekend - much better weather than last year.

The early enduro was interesting for me. First, my handheld fire extinguisher came off its mount and ended up at my feet so I had to take my pit stop really early (right after the first double yellow). Then, after just 4 more laps, I lost 3rd gear so only had 2nd & 4th for the rest of the race - that killed me on several spots of the track.

'til next race...

I saw the dry-track times you ran compared to a couple of racers from E class who I raced against at Sebring. I believe that you will be one tough racer to catch for anyone in SPBOX Charlie! Good for you!

Cheers and see you at LRP

Just got back to Wisconsin and wanted to say; First time at Road Atlanta for me, and had an excellent time. There was some excellent close racing in the 944 Spec ranks in the Sat sprints. I missed the Sunday Enduru due to sever ADD Thanks to all for the southern hospitality, I think this one has to go on the permanent race schedule for me (As long as you guys can keep the rain away)

So? any comments on SPBOX? Loved it, hated it? more/less fun than your C1 Cup?
What tires you have to run?

Hey, Mark, it was good to meet you this weekend. I was the "crew" with the red 944 pitted right across from you. Enjoyed getting to meet you and the guy from Nashville with you (and was glad to see him get his running!).

So, I guess I'll see you next year, but you should bring some rains, as that seems to be a tradition with this race (and last year was ten times worse).

Great to meet you as well, I hope that you can get your fuel issues sorted out, It's always a shame to pull all the way to a race only to fight with a partially running car the whole time you are there.

any chance someone has A enduro results? I missed Friday under the car, motor and gearbox Gremlins. got my first hot laps in the qual on Sat am kept chasing the changes on the car and trying to learn a new track in the two sprints. I got to give a shout to Corey for a quick naritive, how to ,for a lap at Road Atlanta it more than helped. I was hopping to improve in the enduro but with no results to look at I cant say. PCA results not up. Buy the time I loaded the car the place was a empty. No results at the base of the tower.

It is completely different than the C1 Cup. I think the car is lots of fun, just slow.

We have to run Toyo R888s.

I was the Nashville guy, hope y'all can get that fuel delivery thing figured out. Mark didn't need rains, we just needed to skip the waffles for breakfast and get there in time so he could make the grid. I need to make sure to remember to turn on that stupid transponder....better yet, she'll be hardwired before Topeka!

No more bent valves....
