Here are a couple of throwback videos at Winton from October 2012. This was before I joined GBR. This video also mentions the penalty  Boza aka Armando was given at Watkins Glen that was brought up at our last race. As for the drivers at this race the names that are still around are: 1. Stinky AKA Jeff 4. F1fan07 aka Dale 5. Boza aka Armando but who we all still call Boza 9. Seahawsk1fan aka Jason (he's still around, right?) 10. Whitewolf aka Dan 16. Helios16v aka Chris 17. Ed 18 Oldslowfred aka Sheldon Enjoy! |

I would contribute in a crowd funding campaign to Al Qaeda bomb this track out of this world.  So.... you're saying you mildly dislike this track? |

Working on being there, but my wife and daughter are working against me... If I make it I may need to beg for a tune.

Im glad this is over. I really am. The more I drive on this track, the less I like it. And this take a bit of the fun. But well, it goes like this sometimes. Considering this, I had 2 very good races. Fighting to beat Boza, but he had a perfect night, driving extremely well both races. I tried my best, but wasnt enough. So, congrats to him! Still, 2 very nice results for me. Good grid aswell. Too bad we lost Ed before Race 1. Just one thing to add. Ricardo talked to me, and he is apologizing to everyone about the first start at Race 2. So, message sent! Cheers. |

Congrats Boza on the double!
R1 started out pretty decent...but I took myself out of the running of a podium w/ a couple spins from pushing too hard.
R2 was much better, hanging off the tail of Boza & Angelo most of the race (3-4 seconds back). The last half of the race got really intense though as Ricardo had recovered from his L1 off track excursion. Very clean intense battle to the finish. I was pretty much spent. It was a hell of a lot of fun though!

I had a pretty decent night. Race 1 was fun. I was close to Dale and Rich for a while but Rich was having some trouble staying on the track. I was focused on catching up to Dale one I got past Rich but I pushed to hard and spun. So I just cruised to the finish.
Race 2 was going pretty well until my drag race with Jeff into turn 1. Like a fool I thought it would be a good idea to not let up and stay on the inside and try and hold of Jeff. Well that worked out about as well as you would think. I hit the curbs and flipping around. Luckily I ended up back on my wheels and was able to continue on. So instead of playing it smart and letting up and tucking in behind Jeff and giving up 1 spot, I lost 5 spots. I was also very lucky I didn't take any serious suspension damage. So I just calmed myself down and got into the hunt. I was able to catch Joe, Rich and Dan to get back into 7th.
I have made a mental note about the opinions of this track (except for Boza that is) and it will be a very very long time if I ever consider running here again.

As much as I dislike the nature of this track, it's a real V8 track so I'll suck it up.  I was off the pace but was able to mix it up with a few guys and/or work at catching people so I still had fun. Looking forward to Barber! |

Boza aka Armando was given at Watkins Glen that was brought up at our last race.
