The A-sedan race is on at 2pm today, too. It's a good one... at least it was watching from the hilltop just before madness.

I only stuck around M-O for the beginning of the EP race, so I'll have to watch that, no question.

Kevin and Eric,

Looks like we really have our work cut out for us. That was a tough field today.

No question. But, I'll say this, the racing was clean, unlike A-sedan.

The Miata is still fast a stink, as is the RX7, does it make you wonder why the company that supports SCCA so well (MAZDA) has cars that by the rules are the fastest,

It should'nt !

Did you see Limberts 914-6, I caught him in a couple shots very briefly. he ran a high 1:37, not bad, but the leaders were running 35's. It will be tough, but with the caterhams going to F prod next year, it should lessen the field in my area. BTW are either one of you making the trip south this spring for any racing? I am planning to go to VIR in March for a regional race. Any interest, Kevin, hows the car coming?????

It's been said before, they should call it M-production.

I did see Limbert's car, I watched the start of the EP race, when I was buying some take-offs. Looked pretty sweet.

Jake and I are planning on bringing the package together at the end of Mar. So, VIR is out for me. I'm hoping to make the late April Gingerman National.... I don't expect to do well there, since I've never run GMan.

I do hope to get east of M-O at some point this season, so we'll have to coordinate.

I've going to stay on medium-sized tracks this year because that's what I've got it geared for.

Limbert ran a consistent race and moved up well, mostly due to attrition. It's hard to judge the potential of the -6 in E Prod based on his performance. He may have a well built engine and a good car (??), but he isn't a particularly fast driver IMO.
Based on qualifying times if I was in EP I would have been second from last on the grid.
