Month: November 2009

The race will restart at 8 am and run until 3 pm.

At about 4:30 am the fog became bad enough that the race had to be stopped.  The next decision will be made at 7 am.

It was dark, they were big, I never saw it coming – that’s pretty much the description given by the driver of the “Shark Car” of the moments shortly before this happened.

Entering the fast turn 5, using all of the lighting you would expect on a $500 car the turn-in mark was obscured by the Camaro (which had driven over it and toward the tire wall protected turn 5 concrete).  “I just followed him off”. 

The Shark was a Spec Miata that had been heavily damaged in a crash in July.  Put a fork in it – as I had previously quipped “looks like bait”.

Git Miata Here

Best time of 1:44.56s.  This is one of the several x- Spec Miatas. 

Dagobah II – 6 laps

Best time 1:43.839.  Older Sentra?

Team RSI – 12 laps

Best time 1:42.036.  Volvo 240 wagon

Coalition of the Willing – 13 laps

1:47.822. 1st gen RX-7

World Rally Chumps – 15 laps

 1:51.822.  Old Subaru Impreza station wagon.

Of note, La Familia, the Fiat x1/9 is running 10th (I am incredulous that it is running at all…).  Team Produnk the almost Spec Miata is 11th with a fast time of 1:42,445.  Team Partridge Family is 44 laps down running a best of 1:49.519

The Brian Towey Surfing School car has met its demise – something about following another guy somewhere bad when it was dark…
