That would be great! Evan and clark cars seem to break from time to time, i think you have your chance peter


Do i need to email register or all of us F racers ask the register at the track if we can race with E cars?

I doubt you will have any luck, the green group is already the largest race group.

There is a very fast rookie in the Red Sprints.

Don't forget, Sunday (today) is "be nice to your grid worker" day!!

Getting ready to go green again. It will be a 9 lap sprint.

Two cups (997) got in to it on exit from the kink. They sideways, when i got there. I (996 cup) was able to slow down but 2 other cars, in front of me, hit each other under braking. I was barely wading through the mess, someone back ended me. I think there was a even bigger pile of behind me. I know that one person was air lifted but apparent ok (overheard medics talking).

There was some poor driving out there this weekend. There was rookie in GTC6 cup spinning all over the place. Two cars nearly hit me sprint one. Cars being over driven.

I was able to limb back to the pits. Back end is bit of mess.
I was looking forward to some good racing. Very disappointed. All they needed was to be patient and get through the first lap

Sorry about the damage to your car and it sounds like the airlifted racer will be ok.

But, speaking frankly, I think you are not in a position (both literally or figuratively) to judge whether the 991 cup cars are being over driven.

The three fastest 991 cups were all running within half a second and all of us wanted to win. All three of us at different times of the weekend spun once. I ended up in gravel in Canada corner in first race. Was able to drive out.

I can tell you that the "rookie" finished just in front of me and we were nose to tail the whole time. He is a quality driver and from what I saw he is in the top 10 % of cup car drivers in PCA. He has lots of experience in other cars from other series that are faster than the 991 cup.

Did the Daytona Prototype car crash? Initial word was that it did.

Yes. Light hit on back spun In Canada corner. Didn't look bad.

The same owner has other cup cars and is a good driver. I have to think the car was just not set up properly.

There is a video of Eric Foss doing a 2:08 in free practice 3 on Friday in the car. ...that was with a bit of traffic.
