Thank you, Dave, it looks like I missed a couple of good races looking forward to watching them.

Results are posted (pics to follow).

Congrats to the winners and podium finishers.

I like this track and have had good success here and bad races also, unfortunately both races were very frustrating for me. Was looking forward to the race after my front row qualifying spot.

Race one: Apparently I didn't get as good a start as everyone else and I got dog piled in turn one. Knocked around and ended up getting tapped sending me into the inside wall. So now car very damaged and dead last leaving turn one on the first lap. The damage effected top speed but I drove my ass off to get up to 5th where I finished well back from the top four.

Race two: More of the same bumping and banging, this time car intact but I was last out of turn one again on the start. Managed to get a couple of spots back but lost them back when Eric and I had a moment. Raced my ass off again to get back up to 5th, this time I got up to Pat's bumper in 4th on the last lap. My one shot to pass him was the braking zone at end of back straight, but Pat managed to come out of the turn ahead of me and I finished 5th yet again.

Final results are posted (with pics).

Expect some shuffling of the points standings because I added in everyone's two throwaway weekends.

Thanks for the results and pics, Tom. As for the racing, at least I was consistent. I had 10th spot sewed up. I got a few laps pretending I was racing before everyone tooled off into the sunset. So that was fun. This is a great track and always a challenge.
