Sunday I lead the race all until the last half of the last lap,
shades of the May race at Seattle, the guy I couldn't get by for 5
laps does something stupid, slows for a slow car, I do something
stupid, I slow also, Ken is on my butt, sails by. I race after him,
try to do a banzai inside pass, oops ! no brakes!! :<
Ken saw I was doing a nutzo move, avoids me, I go in the dirt, he goes
on to 1st place. I bump my hood, which bumps the kill switch!!!
which shuts off the car. I undo my belts, crawl half-way out the
passenger window, hit the power, put my belts back on, start the car
and run to 4th place... bummer, last.
Monday, everything came together for me, and just ran away with it. Ken rented his car to
two different folks this weekend, and his tires were worn out as a result,
so was running on corded Toyos.
Peter fought fuel delivery issues all weekend and his car ran poorly on Sunday. On Monday Peter's car started off fine, then developed fuel delivery
issues again causing him to drop out. I'm sure he'll have this sorted out by the next race here in Seattle.
Bill and Greg had a race on Sunday, but Bill's oil pan was
damaged by Tom early on Monday, so Bill didn't get a chance to race
that day.
Paul Fitzgerald was racing Stan and Dereks new blue Pro3 car and in looking at the results, we'd better watch out for this newcomer. |
