I
would like to thank the MidOhio PCA Region for the club race this last weekend,
especially for the way they managed the weather just right! |

In
my class (E) I've been languishing in the back of the pack all Saturday, with
a pack of those pesky 944 turbos ahead of me. Those turbos love the slightly
cool weather. |

However
the tables were turned Sunday morning with torrential downpours leaving the
track nicely wet. The wet qualifying conditions enabled me to move up to 5th
in class, all the way from the peanut seats in 17th. |

Looking
back thru the Keyhole. This shot NOT taken this weekend.

The race was wet, with light rain that got heavier as the race went on.
I had a decent, not great start. Joe Rothman, driving on the edge the whole
time, got by me in the middle of the race in his S2 Firehawk. |
|
|
|
One
race group got lucky, just damp. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
I
was running shaved Kumhos and as the conditions deteriorated, my laps times
started dropping. I was sliding all over the place and toward the end, I had
to brake in order to get my car to just turn in for the keyhole chicane. Michael
Keck was reeling me in and caught up with me in the carousel on the last lap,
but I was able to hold him off to keep 6th. Whew! |
