Bums me out that my cameras and I will not be there; however my mother passed away quite unexpectedly week before last and I'm in Minnesota taking care of her estate. Will miss hanging with you...

In 2012 I authored a book re: SRs at the 2012 Runoffs. Having heard about the Tucker project, I contacted Jeff (Braun) to inquire if I might interview him about the project. He graciously agreed,...

Indy Car cancelled "Q" due to heavy rains. Believe they ran the 1st session and decided to cancel afterward. Pro Mazda was also rained out.

BTW JP, am coming with Critter to VIR -- look fwd...

AND congrats to Critter for prepping two quick cars! Sherman - you adapted to Atlanta very quickly and smoothly. Congrats to you both :checkered:

(Michael in 85, Sherman in 3

Grumbling or not, even with a short field of 11 cars, they put on the best "shows" of the weekend! As Russ McB stated, the number of 'spectators' on the pro pit wall was outstanding :thumbsup:

Good racing, GREAT job on the video Mike Beauchamp !! :checkered:

Mike B - great job on the video my friend. Thanks for letting those of us not present live the action vicariously !!:checkered:

I will 2nd JP's comments re: JRO - the man was on a rail for SAT's race. Fun to watch!!

Bet the ride back to Denver was a pleasant one !

Sweet smell of victory !

JR on the track and Coop in the booth! Prior to the start of the race Coop's commentary made him sound like he had been in a broadcast booth for years. Very informative and eloquent (well except...

Was doing some photos for S2000, but did collect a few of the FM group as well....

Watched the race from T1 (outside). As the field exited pitout, I'm thinking, "where the heck is LL?" Oh well, just another 21st to 1st win :D I did hear 2nd hand that it was the 1st ever last to...

Congrats :checkered:

I 2nd Mike D.'s comments. Yes, he worked tirelessly at the Sprints, AND also at the May Road Atlanta event as well :checkered:

Whoa - 3 pages and counting. Wait until I post images of the cars close up :D

Hey Peter, you caught it !! I think he had pitted the lap before black flag and was against the inside pit wall............

L-o-n-g black flags even bore crew people, especially if they have a camera in hand :D

So for you eagle eyes - what is different about one of the images??

Ditto on JR's comment re: mike Devin!

With 6+ inches of rain SAT overnight in the area, Road Atlanta looked a lot like Lake Atlanta, but nonetheless the races were run, albeit shortened to 18 laps or 30 minutes. The F1000 group ran with...

Hopefully as time allows you'll get the full benefit from the actual competitors in SAT's race, especially the famous "Coop Chronicles!" In the meantime, my short take. Good, clean start, with JR...

Thanks Mike! Missed you and Janice this weekend, although I'm feel certain you didn't miss us today (SUN). Lovely, monsoon WX :rolleyes: Hope to see you later this year......

Hey Raggi - relocated here from the west coast myself a while back and haven't found the box with my literacy :D

Hey Poo Bah - post Ana's pix anyway. Never enough of that georgous lady :checkered:
BTW, love your "speed" shot of Coop. Were you somewhere hotel bend?

Michael at speed T15a, Sebring. Good drives both days:tire:

2 days - 2 wins !!

Had some time on my hands since our SR group raced on SAT, so I went down to T1, outside to take some images of the Vee race. Thank heavens for 7-8 fps autoburst :D

Hey dude, nice win on SAT. How did SUN go??????????

In deference to the GT1Vette post, I will not pursue mixed classes but I do know this much - there were slow backmarkers in ALL 6 classes which contributed to the overall race and its...

picked up 5+ seconds today. Made some changes to car, much to Coop's liking :D

It was ugly to say the least, and thats a view from the pits! Worst incident waas BIG and involved Keith Grant/FA and Jacek Mucha/CSR. Based on eyewitness remark Grant was coming up to lap Mucha on...

SAT - sunny, beautiful
SUN - ugly, cool, moderate to heavy rain

My apologies to my very good friend Glenn Cooper for the lack of race pix. Seems a competitor opt'ed to take Glenn out :mad:
