This is all I got. I lost everything while editing this. My computer skills are equal to my driving skills.

Thanks, Frank. I learned from three guys I consider to be amongst the best-ever PCA racers: Savenor, Berger, and Scotto. These guys race as hard as anyone and to my knowledge have one on-track "13" amongst them in 40+ combined years of PCA racing. I might not have my stats exactly right on that*, but it was pretty apparent that to beat those guys you had to be very fast, take what racing space you could, and make no mistakes so that you could be there at the end of the race.


*at the least, in 4+ years of the four of us racing in GTC1, I am aware of no 13's in the group, despite some HAIRY racing and no solo incidents, either.

Too bad about losing the footage. Would have liked to see more.

Next time

Put Charlie in a kart for a 6 hour enduro and it's a whole different deal

My kind of guys. It's a cerebral sport, and I like people who get that.

Cheers!

Sprint 1 footage here. Healy's gearbox breaks at the start. The SPBox's were off on a split start. Attrition was high, as you'll see.

Default Group Photos of the "Barbie Cars"
I think Charlie had already taken his back to his paddock space. Here are a few shots I took of the rest of the group after Sprint 2. They have been resized for web page viewing.

Gary, LMAO! What's amazing to me is that Tim was still in the 1:36s with his 2spd.
