[FONT=Verdana][FONT=Verdana]We had 4 cars with Brandon in the CiDixon (Citation), Tim Pierce in a Firman, Richard Franklin in the lastest generaton Stohr and me in the Van Diemen Nova. [/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana][FONT=Verdana]Busy track with 40 cars including 10 FA’s, 5 CSR’s and 13 FE’s. Not easy to get a clean lap. Brandon was on GY’s and at 1.50 in Q-1 and broke into the 49’s in Q-2. I was in the 53’s trying some different set ups including two different widths of tires with this being a new car for me. [/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana][FONT=Verdana]We had a dry race and a very wet rain race. Brandon paced the field with two wins and I followed with two 2nds. Everyone had a good weekend without incident on a great VIR track.[/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana][FONT=Verdana]I did observe the other FB’s doing some standing starts at lunch time on Saturday. I passed on the opportunity as I did not want to chance breaking and missing a finish which is important for me since I have just started my 2012 season and finishes are critical. Brandon demonstrated a perfect standing start. 7K and feathered the clutch with controlled gripping wheel spin and rev’s never going up materially until he had full gripping acceleration.
