Well I guess on one level that was a humane act. It isn't a trend until there are two data points... Still, he's out now and can hone his skills some more in DEs, and that's the benefit of 13/13 racing. In SCCA he'd be back next week.

I've wondered if in all forms of amateur motorsport there shouldn't be some sort of 'Scarlet Letter' concept where repeat offenders were required to have a giant orange 'A' on the car for some length of time, but longer than 13 mos. The embarrassment might have more of an impact that economic or time-based sanctions...

Gums, I guess that rear wing made a difference? At first I thought it was "Photo Shopped" into the picture. I have a feeling your car may look like Pablo's before the next race.

My car already looks like Pablo's, as much as it's going to. Pablo's car also has that big rear diffuser, but I won't do that because it's not allowed in 944SC. He classed himself up with that.
I was speaking with Rob over the weekend, asking about you Joe, sorry to hear that your mom is not doing well and it kept you away. I hope we get to race together at some point this season, although I'm almost done.
Oh, but I would be available to do that NASA enduro again....

Zero probability move, ha, more like a JA move... Not a good way to break into PCA racing...
