Great report Chris.

I'd like to point out that at the midway point we were 4th or 5th.  But as stated - when you have to keep swapping motors and to Chris credit it was only a 15 minute time loss each time - it's still a lot of ground to make up.  Ask Tony's team who took almost one entire 51 minute heat to get a motor swapped.

The car ran really well.  I was hoping we would have gotten a Ferrari but a Porsche it was.  There was no slide of the rear tires, it was grip 'til you tip.  And the most important advice - don't be the rider.

Best moment - seeing us 4th in front of most of the heavies.  Worst moment - seeing the new motor we just swapped in was slower than the failing one we took out.

I'd like to thank Victoria for driving me home after the event.

Results!  You want results.  You can't handle results...

Soon.

Thanks gents.  Always a great time when we get together.

The BRM race was 917/512?

Excellent job Bill.  Nice looking chassis.

Thanks Bill, great time last night.  As always it's not so much what you're doing but who you're doing it with.

Very cool.  What are you going to whittle the body out of?

It was a spectacular crowd of 23 racers that braved the expected day of stifling weather.  As it turns out, it wasn't all that horrible.  And with all the food that kept coming through the door there was a-plenty to eat.  In fact there among the throng was our old pal George Vriese with his sons Sean and Alex.  It's great to see old friends again.

Congrats to John Fisher on his Ninco Class win and Rico Locati on his very close win in the IROC class.

Thank you all for coming, we'll hope to see you again soon.

At that price everyone should have a set.

Agreed, let's race soon!
