Road America May 29-31 Double Regional

[Cole_Bosanoz]

Anyone get any photos from group two? Anything would be great... It was my first SCCA race and no pictures

[Keith Carter]

How'd it go Cole?

[Cole_Bosanoz]

It went really well. I finished second both days in FE. And on Saturday had Class and Overall Group Pole, using some good strategy before the rain came. Hopefully everything I need will fall in place for me to go to the Sprints! Fingers crossed.

[Keith Carter]

Excellent! Glad it went well.

[Marshall Mauney]

Excellent! Glad it went well.

Where were you, Keith? I expected to see a few more of the "usual suspects" out at that event....?

At least Stecher showed up to give me the occasional tow down the front straight....

[Keith Carter]

Not in the cards to run the regional. I know the track well enough so I'm hoping to adapt pretty quickly in the new car at the Sprints.

Let me check Cole, but I think I may have one or two of you from the weekend.

Upon further review, I have exactly 1 picture of you from the inside of 5. Nearly 2.5 meg in size but I'll send it tonight. Had I known it was your first SCCA race......

Yeah - I was there to learn the track. I've only driven there once before, and that was in a rental last summer. First time in the car + first time at the track = . Given my poor performance this weekend, I'm just hoping I got all the bugs out before the Sprints....

Hey guys. My friend Dave took a crap ton of pictures over the weekend for both our race group and Group 1 where my other friends were running.

My guess is you'll find some of you in there Cole. I take all payments in beer.

Glad to see you again Marshall and sorry about quali again on Sunday.

Overall it was a fun weekend (minus my best friend piling his car into the wall in Canada and making a trip to the hospital) I went and ran on my old tires from last year (which at least are consistent) and tried to tweak and screw around with the car from the base settings we used last year and I found some good speed in the last race from an aero perspective on the straights. I gotta have something for all the FB's showing up at the Sprints outside of thumb tacks. I also need to learn how to get a fricking good start this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great photos - thanks for sharing them!

No worries - you didn't do anything wrong, you just happened to catch up to me at an inconvenient spot. It's the luck of the draw in mixed qualifying sessions. Besides, the tow you gave me up the front straight the next lap more than made up for it!

Now, there's a FC driver that I need to have a talk with next time I see him....but that's another story.

Good snaps, thank you for sharing. Looks like FAs need some more attendance. Tough economy, but thank you for sharing. Makes me want to become much less prudent. I hope all enjoyed.

Great! Thanks guys... Beer for all

[Brad Ellingson]

You have mail if you haven't checked already...and my going rate is at least a beer per meg so...you're on the hook for 2.26 beers. See ya at the Sprints?

Was a great weekend except for the unexpected moisture falling from the sky. I tried taking pics for Cole but of course my camera battery went dead. Great job Cole and Marshal and everyone else who drove. This was the first weekend I driven my protege5 around the track at a decent click...and it survived yeah! Just don't mind the part I picked up that fell off when I got on track in the morning

What corner were you working? I never actually got to see you.....

[TrackBrat]

Chris....did you wear your helmet during the touring?????

Yes I did. I was living the dream...lol. As for what corner I was working, I was in exile at turn 2 most of the weekend. Saturday afternoon I was at Alpha though.

[thewarehouse]

I think I saw Chris wearing his helment on Sunday up in 2. Probably just in case somebody needed to have their car driven back to the padock..

My wife snapped a few group 5 photos inbetween biting her nails. We'll set her up with the good lense for the 40th!

Where did this DB1 Nose originate from? Never seen one like it before.

[mblanc]

I think that is the one you end up with after you 'fubar' your original nose.


hideous, I'd say.

[Bill Bonow]

Marc,

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." I think John LaRue made/had the mold for this nose? Myself, I think it gives the DB1 a new look to a old face.

[Jim Nash]

New nose and all, it's good to see the Fubar machine on the track again! I hope you are planning to do the 40th. See you there.
