Great job to all.

Very nice lap, especially considering that you only had 1 chance at it!!! Good pressure play!

thanks! Yeah, doing it with only one chance made it feel very F1ish!

But man, your lap was insane. that understeering tire "chirrup.." on the downhill is freakishly scary thats as fast as that little white thing of yours will go through that corner.
You should stop throwing $ at vintage equipment and come in play with "up to date" platform and it should be exciting!

I was the cause of the truncated session. (you can see me in your video parked in the swamp)

A car passed me on the outside of turn 3 and then chop blocked me near the apex, leaving me no choice but to lift, resulting in a spin into the mud.

CVR did indeed a great job publicizing the event. Also in previous years the club race has always been held on the same date as the Hershey Swap Meet. This year it was a week later and I think that also helped. Perhaps if CVR and CPA PCA got together and put the dates on separate weekends in the future the result will be a win-win for everybody.

SK, great job in Sprint 1 getting the win. your drove the nuts off that car and made it work even when the track went away. You played the traffic just perfect once you got on my bumper, and made a great move with 3 turns to go! I thought i had it locked up but you had the move of the race in traffic to get the win. nothing i could have done, that would have been respected, other than to give you the spot. I thought id have one good run at you off the downhill, but your car has some gravity thing going on<G> and away you went to the line. well done.

hope your charriot gets sorted out in quick time.

hope to see you back out there shortly.

Car handled like a charm. Could carry speed all over the place like never before.

I to HairyDog once more! Also to CVR and the event sponsors for putting together a spectacular event!
We got to talk about set up..... since we are using the same master guru......

Can you PM me the winning formula? or do you suggest me calling Dan himself?
