EJO Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Practice session at 8:40 this morning; track and tires were cold so everyone was a little slow. Qualifying at 10:15; NO clean laps. Pete Bovenberg in a 2000 Civic Si caught on fire on the front straight which engulfed the entire cockpit of the car. Pete has purchased a new car to run tomorrow if possible and definitely Saturday. Grid position was set by our practice session times, which screwed a couple of people who did not go out for the practice session. I started 11th out of 18 cars but was quickly passed by Jeremy Croiset and Manny Coats. Those guys are freaking fast. I was having a great battle with Victor Chalk and Austin Getty until my car died on me. The engine was reving but no matter what gear I put the car in it would not move. I coasted into pit lane, turned the car off, restarted the car while rolling and it work fine for the rest of the race. Unfortunetaly by that time I was already half a lap down on the field. I'm going to have to drive the wheels off the car tomorrow to get a decent grid position for the National Race on Sat. Top runners so far in H2: Jonathan Meris John Almazan Donna Gilio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wic Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Since it is not official yet I won't spill the beans on how it went down today. You Nor-cal racers can be very proud of your fellow racers though! They did represent! As for me I qualified 10th but my race ended early when a rock took out my radiator on lap 2. Inspite of that I had a great time and have no regrets! Thanks to NASA for putting on such a great event and to HPD for their wonderfull hospitality. I really had fun racing with everyone! Austin, thanks for the push at the start. Man I really suck at standing starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
