He said he was making a cappuccino half way through the race when he saw you in the rear view and yawned...

He looked like he may have fallen asleep so he needed a little caffeine!

I sleep in my trailer at the track and it is raining pretty hard right now. I hope it dries out for tomorrow!

Ummm, no. I did not say that.

Sprint 2 was a hoot. Went from 5th to 2nd in class on the start then back to 3rd then back to 2nd a few times with Colin (#45) before Charlie passed us both for the win. Going to be some good video once I edit it to make me look awesome.

Congrats to SeanF for setting a new record in D and for, along with GaryR, out qualifying all the E cars, and beating some F and half of the H class cars lap times.

These boys truly have natural talent and deserve to be congratulated......

For myself, in sprint 2 I was P2 in class till my belt busted and that was the end of my race......

Here is the start of it, F class is the bottom class in the group running with G, H, GT4S and GTB1.

Turn 5 gets a bit hairy..... (0:55 mark)

I KNEW IT>....conn stock...haha more like PAID STEWARD STOCK>....guess they werent checking for full slicks or found the dollar bills tucked in the rims
I WANT VIDEO or a pic of the log book or it never happened

Looks like scruits are getting tough this year, ive spent too much time with them at Sebring, Watkins, VIR, and this past weekend at Mid-O i was getting engine/trans/brakes etc numbers for them and explaining why i havent gotten down to the new weight....its baby fat i swear it will wear off when i am overstressed at having a teenage girl (possibly another one in Feb).....wait thats every race ive been to....Hunt are you behind this....damn voodoo



Nice driving you guys, looks like it was a blast out there today.....still cant believe there was no voodoo talk (till above)??
I need to buy the race monitor app so i dont have to wait to hear about it on here....i mean its been a couple of hours.

Drive safe tomorrow and have some fun.

I've been scruted every race this year as well. This time they pulled us in to check for LSD's.

I need to get some stronger voodoo. Some real bad mojo.

There was some great racing yesterday in Blue sprint 2, and all groups for that matter. Hope you guys get decent weather today, because I drove through some nasty rain driving home last night.

Gary they were checking us slow guys also. I guess just to make it look like they were being fair. They also checked spindle heights on my car.

I came in right before the end of sprint 2 with a bad noise from the motor and was sent to tech where I ended up 6 pounds light according to their scales. He told I may be DQ'd. DQ the DNF?

I weighed 2775 at lrp in April and 2696 yesterday. The only difference on my part was removal of my carpet and the rear seat cushion bottoms.

Congrats to Sean!

OT but yes I have been scrutinized many times this year: bump steer, spindle height, wheel width, and safety checks. I'm glad. Keep it up. I saw an illegal bump steer kit in plain sight in the paddock at Mid Ohio. They're still out there.
