Congrats to the Dawgs on their victory this weekend, not a small task!
Video from the March 28th Spring Sprint race. I managed to keep the car on track and finished with a third place. Naturally, Sunday was clear and warm and I screwed up getting the video running for that race. I took second place on Sunday.
Sunday's race was one of the best I have been in. A brake check by the pole sitter screwed the start and allowed Mike Morris get a huge jump on me. That is where experience comes into play, he was ready for anything and I wasn't. After clearing some slower traffic, the two lead CMC-2 cars, Colin Jevens (CMC Mustang) and me were locked in a 4 way battle. I got around one the CMC-2 cars and Colin. Then had them dogging my bumper. It took me a 1/2 lap to regain composure and drive the car instead of throwing it about. I watched Colin put two wheels off and then four off. I let the CMC-2 car back around and backed it off about 3 seconds per lap (the temp was climbing to 220)...no use thrashing the car. About 30 minutes into the race we got a full course caution as they cleaned up a couple of broken down cars that were in bad places. With 5 cars between Morris and me, I knew if it went green I would not have time to get up to him. Luckily, the field behind me got caught up behind a slow moving factory five racer. So the rest of the CMC/CMC-2 field could not close up me. We got a final lap under green and I laid down my second fastest lap of the race, barely avoiding Brian Harris (a THSCC TT car) went he went off in 15 and came back on in front of me.
Overall, a pretty good, but very wet weekend.
It was nice having the car back to normal power levels. A great weekend of good, clean racing.
