Nope, it was this last weekend. I don't have the results sheets with me, so I can't list the results. I would just butcher it trying to do anything from memory.

Overall, the weather was nice all weekend. I didn't see or hear of any major incidents, though a couple of cars went home early.

Loren put on a great lunch on Saturday with good attendance from the EWC community.

Saturday EWC results:

Rhoades, Swift FF
Kingham, Zink CFF
Wheatcroft, Van Diemen FF
Bergeron, Van Diemen FF
Tipswood, Van Diemen CFF
Wood, Crossle CFF

Track Saturday was slippery, perfect on Sunday. Dan Faust blew an engine on test day Friday. Mark Kolell collected spinning Swift in carousel (I think) on last lap of 2nd qualifying Saturday, damaged a corner, and did not race. Perfect weather all weekend. Very nice luncheon at Loren Tieman's paddock Saturday and divine swine at Lindstrand's Saturday night. Not to mention the marching (corner) captain Morgans and desperate racewives at the parade. Turnout was low again--only 17 entrants (9 of them FF) and 14 starters on Saturday (may have been 16 starters on Sunday, I didn't pick up a results sheet).

Man I wish I could have been there. Well hopefully I will be up at Road America with you guys. I should be getting my engine back here in the next 2-3 weeks.

You going to Road America? I plan on being there. I should be getting my engine back here in a week or so. I plan on doing a regional/national before Road America to shake down the car again. If you go I will try to pit next to you again!

Thanks for the pictures...They are awesome, would make a good calendar for the EWC folks. Thanks for taking the time to take them...Hope to see you at R.A..Todd

Andrew - good to hear you plan to be back up and running for the next installment of the EWC. Good luck getting everything put back together.

Thanks all for the encouragement to show up at Road America. I'll be honest - it's going to require some significant arm twisting to get me there. Not sure I want to make two of those cross-country trips in a year (unless I'm going to The Runoffs...). The weekend is currently open (race-wise), but follows immediately after the NEC race at Limerock. I'm going broke fast!

Who can suggest some incentives? If I promised to go to Road America, how many would promise to go to Nelson Ledges??

Erik:

if you have the opporutity to take Monday off after for the drive, you are welcome to land in Chicago Sunday night and head out in the morning (I did Chicago to the Glen in a day and its not a big challenge when everyting goes well)...there are no less than two dozen german or irish bars within walking distance of the abode...
