I think you're getting the hang of it.

Blue Sprint 2 Video from the SPB ranks. I put in a lackluster performance in Sprint 1 so I gridded in P5 so I figured I had to have a good start Had a great run with Colin. Got in Charlie's way for a bit. Finished P2. Overall a great weekend for the 611 car.

My camera effed up and only recorded static so enjoy the Van Halen.

Was that white Boxster that passed you an E car ? He seemed to be way faster in the straights

You just need to find a Mr. Chicken near NJMP, we all know that you gain at least 1.5s after a visit to your favorite Chickstro.

Sorry to read about the car. Glad you are okay and hope to see you out there next year.

Ha! I know. Truly. I've gotten a whole lot more aggressive in this car. A whole lot. It's a whole lot more fun that way

Blue Sprint 3. Track was a little damp in spots including the river coming out of the octopus so I took it a little easy on the start not knowing if we were all going to end up in a heap in the tires off T1

Also, I went wide in T2 which knocked my mirror around and the hilarity ensued. Almost cost me 3rd place!

I've never raced at this track. What is going on with turn one. During the start the blue Boxster uses the inside lane to pass cars on the start. It looks like there are two exits from pit lane. Is that inside lane usable during the race?

Keith, you are right. I should protest and take Bela's 2nd place finish from him! Is it too late?

I won't lie, I've used pit out before. It's not ideal but it is an escape route. I ended up over there at the enduro start as some E drover ran me over the curb. Don't know if there is an actual rule as the starts can be hectic.

I was pushed in there and let me tell you, that curb hitting my sway bar mount just about knocked my teeth loose!

I wasn't implying it was illegal. It just looked like it was a good option during the start. I thought it was a great move.
