I will be at the Runoffs but won't be racing with you guys.
Twenty two years after my last Runoffs appearance (and epic crash) I decided to try again with a new car. Another few hours in the wind tunnel and new parts had the car looking really good. Daytona is only 90 miles from my shop.
Overall, this year has been really tough for a lot of reasons. We entered 5 events but some very untimely and very unlucky tow vehicle mechanical failures allowed participation in only three. Due to a lot of commitments that's all the time and money I had to put into it.
Since I had enough points and had received a number of participation waivers over the years to keep my license I thought a waiver in this case was doable. Wrong! The SCCA Board of Directors turned me down flat. They say they are refunding the $1400 already spent on Runoff's test days, entry, and paddock fees.
Anyway, like I said we will still be there and rooting on the Silver Bullet guys with any help we can provide. Phil Wang has already locked up the Canadian Championship with his Caracal Silver Bullet. A Runoff's win would be SWEET!
