It was a blast, sorry you didn't make it.
The split starts sucked for us but managed to have a good time anyway.
Moses is a fierce cometitor to say the least, also very lucky. I spent a lot of time in the weeds looking for Freddys line through the octophuck.....Charley has the footage.

Thanks for the nice words, everyone! It was a great weekend - incredibly nice blue sky weather, albeit hot today - and my hat is off to the Schattenbaum guys. They run a very efficient, relaxed, and superb club race!

Great weekend! TedA and I enjoyed meeting several Rennlisters in person for the first time - Bsztanko, Gary R, BostonDMD, etc., and a bunch of SPBOX guys - "Frank from Vegas", Mike, Charlie.... Big thanks to Dan Jacobs, Bela and Jerry from Hairy Dog Grrrage. Their recommendations saved my weekend. Tagged the armco after losing it into the turn entering the front straight lap one on stickers during the third practice. Banged out fender and 1/4, and re-set toe with a tape measurer. Was able to race in all three sprints. Got PCA license. Glad they changed the 13 rule.

Tim Costa wins the "Pit Bull Tenacity" award. He loses 4th gear in T1 on the start of the enduro, then loses 2nd gear somewhere along the line but keeps going! Comes in for his pit and finds out he has no 1st either!! Runs the entire race with 3rd and 5th! (Tim - correct me if I messed up any details). Now THAT's commitment!
I know of other guys (won't mention names Mike, don't worry) that ran home like a little girl when they had a problem...

Don't point that at me, Gary! I had the main field totally covered in Sprint 1, aside from Tallardy, after Healy broke at the start and I put Ztanko back (he had a killer start), built a huge gap and the clutch failed late in the going. I spent the entire afternoon under the car, covered in SuperBlue, fabricating a clutch line, got it fixed after dinner and then came out to play again on Sunday. I'll post a 28-6th video shortly, almost everyone is in it!

Bummed that I missed this one, for many reasons. Trying real hard to pickup my car this week and get it home. Sorry to hear about Colin's engine and Tim's transmission. Sounds like a fun weekend overall.
