Those are great pictures Barry, Thanks! It was terrific meeting you and your father last weekend.
I had a pretty good race. Weather and track conditions affected qualifying significantly Saturday. The first session was raining and I was happy to be 7th overall and 2nd in class at that point. For the afternoon qualifying session the rain had stopped and the track was drying. I switched to slicks but it apparently was the wrong choice because they never heated up and didn't develop enough grip, but I didn't want to risk tearing up my rain tires on a drying track. I should have left the rains on though, just done about 5 laps and come in. The result was that I slid back to 17th overall and 6th in class, only knocking about 7.5 seconds off my first session time. I got a good start on the second lap after the first start was waved off. Before long I moved ahead of the 5th place FP car, a black and red CRX (local driver). We continued to trade positions for a while until I made a mistake in turn one, trying to hold the CRX off. He had more power than I but my car handled better, so I would pull away in the back half of the track and he would catch me by the end of the front straight. I had one missed shift during the entire race. It happened when I went too deep into one, and instead of third I found first. Fortunately I was going slow so it didn't hurt the motor (I think). The CRX easily went by me at that point and I never quite caught back up. One of the front runners in FP didn't finish so I ended up 5th in class, 13th overall. My best time was more than a second slower than the CRX. He was slightly faster than Les Handly (dark blue 914) who finished just ahead of us. Tom Burdge (light blue 914) had a bad weekend. I didn't get a chance to talk with him but he did less than one lap in morning qualifying, only a couple of laps of afternoon qualifying, and only 7 laps in the race. I was told the car was smoking badly during the race. |

I called Tom..
It appears that his MassIVe engine got some pushrod tube damage in shipping and thats what downed him at the track over the weekend.... Glad it was nothing serious for him! Between Chris and Tom FP is going to get more and more interesting! |

Chris, considering a new track and questionable conditions sounds like a decent finish. I did notice in one of the photos you are missing the front air dam. Good to hear from you guys. thanks for the photos. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

I usually install/remove the air dam in pit lane to prevent damage since it is very low to the ground. You might notice in another picture that the airdam is in the passenger compartment for the ride back to the paddock after the race. |

Excellent shot! You can barely see the "Aircooled Technology" on the front fender!

Hey, you guys got some good coverage on page one of this thread. You can't expect low res on-track shots to emphasize any more than the primary sponsor. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Anyway, I also got some pics from Ken Brown Competition Photographers. They aren't quite as good as the Roz photos but provided some other perspectives. Here's one from the pace lap; it looks like I'm on pole: Attached image(s)
