Thanks Howie, it was an enjoyable season and one of steady improvement for some of us

I had a great time at my first OSCAR race, thank you all for being so welcoming. I also owe Stuart a BIG THANK YOU for being such a quality instructor. The cars we built at class all performed well. All in all a good day

`Yes, it was a jovial bunch of racers last light. I hope Mark was not too upset by his nickname, it came from this:

Hardcastle and McCormick is an American action crime drama television series that aired on ABC from September 18, 1983, through May 5, 1986. The series stars Brian Keith as Judge Milton C. Hardcastle and Daniel Hugh Kelly as ex-con and race car driver Mark "Skid" McCormick.

During an interview in the early 1980s, producer Stephen J. Cannell referred to the then-upcoming series as Rolling Thunder.

Premise
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Milton C. "Hardcase" Hardcastle is an eccentric judge notorious for being strict with the law in both his duties and towards defendants. Preparing for his retirement, he notices file drawers filled with 200 people who escaped conviction due to legal technicalities. Inspired by his childhood hero the Lone Ranger, Hardcastle desires to make the criminals answer for their crimes.

Mark McCormick is a smart-mouthed, streetwise car thief. He faces a long incarceration for his latest theft, a prototype sports car called the Coyote X, designed by his murdered best friend. Together, the judge and the car thief strike a deal in which Hardcastle helps McCormick catch the murderer and McCormick agrees to work (his conditional parole) as the judge's agent. In addition, McCormick is allowed to keep the Coyote, which proves to be an excellent pursuit vehicle for their needs.

And NOT from the condition of his underwear of which I have no knowledge

That was some FAST and CLOSE racing, I really enjoyed it.

The GT-1 is legal under current rules. As far as I know the saloon cars are not along with the Ferrari 333.

Thanks Doc. I figured as much, but just wanted to be sure so as to avoid potential issue in the future

And excellent racing it was

A big THANKS to Al for opening the track to us despite his situation. 
I hope we got everything shut down properly.

Nice work Dan, thank you for the effort. I just have one question. LMP cars are among the fastest on the planet, why have a lower rpm motor limit than older and presumably slower cars listed in other classes?

I echo those sentiments Doc, I loved racing at Too Bad.  Dominic's last football game is Thursday and he is playing with his cast all wrapped up. Looks like a club. He played last night and scored a TD. See ya all on Nov 3.

Thanks Howie for hosting the race. I might have to say the pizza was the best part of my day, my car was just too slow to keep up with the most of the field. I am happy to not have had any issues with my car, and mostly stayed out of crashes. Need to work on the speed issue.
