Nice start!

 

Great drving at about the 10:30 mark. I remember hearing the squeeling tires and wondering if I should turn in or not. If I could have seen it from that view, I would have just gone off straight! Yikes that was close.

No kidding. My thought process was: something slow coming up on left, what? what's a Miata doing in Thunder?, he sees Dean and I coming like bat's outta hell he'll stay put, ok Dean's by here I go, OOHHHH SHIIIIITTT he's coming over and cutting me off!!!!!! AAAAaayyyyyyyyyyyy, avoid, brake like hell and hang on!!!!!!!!!

 

Boy, doncha just loves those moments?

Yeah, that was the start from hell for me. when I put my foot down the motor just shut off. I had to fumble for the fan switch (I had a suspicion that we were drawing too many amps) and after I turned it off the car responded well.

 

Oh well I'll have to put the good alternator on the car to try to prevent that next time.

Yeah, that was fun to watch but a little more up close and personal than I would have liked.

 

How's the fix going on his car? Personally, I think he should just retire it and find another racecar. It just so happens that I know of someone selling!

I can't part with her. She's been good to me over the years.(Even thought she tried to kill me in Turn 1).

New Moser axles going in this weekend, and new front fascia has just arrived via Fedex. Things are coming together. We'll be ready for Road Atlanta in December
