Pablo, I really hope you are not calling or considering yourself a rookie!

Whot? I am...!!! Technically. Plus considering the logged race time by you veterans around in PCA Racing, I am really a rookie in comparison!

By the way... All trash talking aside, I was actually kindly adviced that giving a "courtesy guidance" (AKA Point-by) to a faster class approaching, is greatly frowned-upon by the stewards...

As a racer, I don't frown on it, it tells me you know I am there.

The stewards are afraid that the passing car considers it as a pass at anytime point by, and relieves them of proper passing responsibilities.

I'll make sure to look for your signal as I approach.

What a bummer. One was a SPB. Maybe the other 2 were H cars.
At least there are still 3 Ds. I'm gonna have to move to E. Too few Ds anywhere but the BIG races like Sebring or the Glen. Maybe PCA needs to start looking for ways to combine classes. Weight may be one way. At least the fields would get bigger.
I have used My Laps to look back at various races to check turnout, lots of events have had zero cars in my class for the last 3 years or so. I was considering doing Mid Ohio, but I can't find a single D car in the several years I checked.

Just do the "prepared" changes and move on up. A lack of D cars is why I moved up to E when it was time to rebuild the motor but I do miss those easy podiums.

Alex, still have 6 H cars listed, disappointing for sure.

The real problem is we are in with the cup cars all weekend.

Guys,

I am still looking for some Enduro fueling help on Sunday. I am in Black and happy to help anyone in Red that can drop 5 gallons of fuel in my car in the second race on Sunday. TIA.

Mark and Alex- me and my Speedwerk-NY crew will be there and all of us are in the 1st enduro. I will make sure either myself or a couple of my guys are there to help you with refueling during your enduro. No worries. Happy to help. We will all be down thursday afternoon and will coordinate with you guys. Looking forward to the weekend!
