This was a blast. From CMP where John E, Tom L, John D, myself and a few of the other faster PTB, Thunder roadsters, and Modified Legends guys had a blast. We had the closest 5 way race I have ever been in with at least 8 lead changes and the race decided by .18 seconds. I thought I had some of the best race video I have ever recorded only to find out the Camera did get turned on like I thought. Luckily the PTB guys had their Camera's rolling. Tom can make his FFR-C very wide.


Unfortunately not everyone made it to the finish to see #42 and I side by side as we crossed the line at the checkerd with me less than 2 ft ahead. here is John E's Video, and it's a dosey.

Here is the video from John D's car, and if you squint you can see Tom and I drag racing to the finish.

one thing for sure...I need to improve my brakes. I kept locking up the front right or being out braked by quite a bit. I know they have plenty of room for improvement, especially on F/R Bias.

thanks.

The win was nice, but the main thing is this was the most fun race I have had to date. We all had a blast running together.

the top 11 cars finished within 3 seconds of each other.
