Last year I had a site that listed the entry (driver and car), qualifying order and race finish order for each class. I can't find that this year. Does anyone know this site?
BTW, Go Chris! BTW, GT-2 was won by David Finch in a 944. |

From SCCA.com, it looks like Chris finished 15th out of 33 entries. The times seem to indicate that he cruised to the line in a group of four racing for 13th.
I'll bet he had a ball; should be fun when we get his response. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) Here's to ya, Chris! |

Thanks for the support guys, I was running comfortably (sort of) in 12th when the pace car came out. That allowed the entire field to bunch up. I ran well for a couple of laps after the restart until I caught 2 lapped cars in the carousel. One passed the other right in front of me and held me up just enough to allow the next 3 cars a perfect opportunity to pass me. Nothing I could do except give chase to the finish line. It was an intense race from my perspective and a whole load of fun despite the 3 lost positions at the end. ps. I expect good tv coverage based on the amount of traffic around me, including a Miata that spun off course when I was about a foot off his rear bumper. |

Sounds like a blast Chris. Don't be shy and not let us know when the TV coverage hits the air.

QUOTE(groot @ Sep 28 2004, 08:00 AM) Excellent showing, Chris!!! I stopped by your camp on Saturday to say hi, but I missed you. Maybe next time. Sorry I missed you Kevin. My brother was up from Tennessee and we spent all day watching the races, at the end of the back straight. Actually I am a little disappointed with my performance late in the race, especially after watching my in-car video. I was consistently about 5 mph slow entering turn one, driving conservatively after having an off there during Wednesday qualifying. That's where I lost time to many of the competitors around me and, if not for my being intimidated there, I could easily have finished 11th or 12th. |

You should not feel disappointed at all. A very impressive run, no doubt.
Some don't realize that it's a challenge just to be elligible for the runoffs, much less compete. Turn 1 is intimidating. I've run M-O quite a bit and still had trouble running it flat out in the ITB car, and that is much slower than your car. An off at turn 1 can be tragic. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) I wouldn't want to lose it early in the turn, that's for sure. In retrospect I probably should have softened the front bar a little more. |
