I'm ready to wheelie the 935 up the front straight. ;D
I'll probably have the server up this afternoon sometime.

Sorry for the delay. Had some nasty weather along w/ some power surges.
Server is up for now...though wind is still high around here.

Big turbo vintage mayhem at historic Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin tonight! There is the possibility of severe weather, so there is a slight chance of connection loss. If it happens, then that is likely the culprit.  And another warning...I don't advise tailgating me up the front straight. The 935 gets extremely light (actually airborne) coming over the rise. Thus far I've put it back down on all 4 wheels without incident...but how many more times am I going to be fortunate... |

Fun racing, crazy cars! I'm still finding the limits of these beasts... went over that line in Race 1 and 3  Look out at Mosport. My adopted home track! |

yeah... that really sucked  was almost at last lap just cruising in 2nd place and then my internet dropped  have had to reset the cable modem several times in last couple weeks but last night it was blinking yellow and just would not come back online time for a new modem I think  also perhaps I should not have told the cable company I was dropping their overpriced tv service earlier in the evening  |

Thanks to everyone that showed up. These cars are a freaking blast. Congrats to the winners. I'll try to get the points updated tomorrow, as I've got to go to Seattle after work tonight. The wheelie/burnouts up the front straight were entertaining. ;D Bummer about the modem Sheldon. We actually let a full 5 min warmup cycle through hoping you would be able to make it back in. 2 milestones last night. 1.) Our largest field yet at 7 cars.  2.) Race 2 & 3 saw no DNFs (not counting Sheldons interweb drop)! |

Not counting Race 1 where I got into the sand, I finished in the M1 with over 80% engine left. Actually, in Race 1 I think I still finished with over 40% left.
Ignoring the sand traps, it's the start and downshifting where the danger lies. It's impossible to damage the engine while upshifting.
