WG Enduro
Enduro video!
I always have fun in the enduro. There is always someone to race with. At the end my seat bracket breaks ending my run.

Watkins Glen Videos
Sprints 1 and 2. These are PCA stock classes E,F,G and H. E is the slowest and H is the fastest. Multi-class racing makes for some interesting situations. You can find yourself racing a car not in your class just to get to a car in your class to race. It can be a lot of fun. The enduro group was broken up differently where E class was the fastest.

Sprint 1 has a lengthy caution as one driver bounced off the SAFER barrier in turn 11 and came back across the track to collect a very well driven E car. Sprint 2 only had some local yellows. That was a lot of racing!
All in all, the Glen is always great and every time I go I get a little better.

Great Weekend at the Glen!
Wow! Too much fun! But when is Watkins Glen not fun?
Friday practice was pretty rough. First race weekend and first time at the Glen in a year. Times were bad in the morning but during the practice starts and the fun race I picked it up a little.
I placed 8th in Sprint 1 and 5th in Sprint 2. Not too bad. The hometown boys have a pretty big advantage up there. Track time is everything! I wish I could get there more.
The enduro was a blast for about an hour then things went bad. I battled it out with number 277 and number 112 for the first 35 minutes. Loads of fun. I learned a whole lot chasing those guys. Watching them really helped me clean up my line in T8 and 9. I was really hitting the bus stop well also.
Highlights coming soon!
Here's a video of my mishap in the Toe:

I'm gettin there!
Great weekend with Schatt at SP main. The morning sessions were run in the mid-70's which is just beautiful for an air-cooled car. I decided to put on my sticker Hoos to see if they would improve things. Since I broke my video camera on Saturday and no one put up a beacon I didn't get any lap times for the first run. I can say this, the new tires fixed all kinds of issues from Saturday. Particularly turn 3. I couldn't hit 3 comfortably all day on Saturday. New tires and all my troubles went away. Hoosiers are crack cocaine plain and simple. The first session felt really really good.
I did get some times from the second session and am very pleased with the results. I had a few clear laps and put together some laps back to back in the mid- 1:26's. That's good for now. On any given day the track can vary time wise, particularly after a big rain, so I'm pretty happy at the moment.
The bad news is that I went too deep trying to chase a screaming BMW into turn 1 and flat spotted the heck out of one of my 2 heat cycle old Hoosiers. At least it was only one and at least I stayed in the turn and not the gravel.
Overall, good result even if it ended early.
