Was Mark Congleton co-driving with Owen Trinkler in ST?
If so, great job for another Rennlister on the podium.
BTW, Owen is another excellent driver with great versatility.

That start was a friggin mess....I hated seeing all that.

I am glad to see BGB worked themselves up to 2nd...too bad the BMW's got around them on the re-start but they still did really well. I always enjoy stopping by BGB and saying hello to John when I'm near Daytona....great guys there.

Congrat's to Rum Bum...awesome! Glad Rum Bum is driving a Porsche now!

Congrats to "our own" CJ Wilson's team for the strong showing in ST. Had the rain started sooner their strategy could've worked.

Great job by Rum Bum also. Considering how fluid the rules are in GA, it seems like their recognition of an opportunity was the most brilliant part. Now I just hope they don't get slapped with a new set of rules that takes the 911 back out of contention.

Yes I co-drove with Owen, thanks Paul. Sorry I missed you and Kim at Sebring PCA this year.

Owen is an Instructor at the Porsche School at Barber and consdiers Barber his home track. He is very quick and a true Porsche guy.

Sebring was not a good weekend for us this year.
We worked with Owen at Rd Atlanta 2 years ago- great guy, works very hard.
I believe that he got a kick out of driving my car...
Will you do more Conti races this year?

Mark, nice job, particularly with the bumper cars on the track!
What a cluster!

You running the full season?

Paul

I thought you guys had some challenges at Sebring, sorry to hear that. Owen is a great guy I have been running with him for many years. I am only running 6 races this year due to work and of course I do need to drive my Porsche!!

Jim hope you are well and getting plenty of track time in your Cup. Rennsport seems like years ago.

Mark
