August brought a freshly repaved Thunderhill and a chance to relearn the first track I ever drove on. Rumors of controversial curbing had me a bit nervous about turn 8. I'd also heard that the "gutter" in turn 14 had been mostly removed, eliminating a small advantage to those in the know.
The rumors were a bit over done, as rumors usually are, but I have to admit that those were the oddest looking curbs I've ever seen on a race track. The net result, though, was a very smooth track with much improved corner exits and a personal lap record for me of 1:58.249.
The race above is from Sunday, where the grid was reversed for a bit of extra fun. Finishing positions were Thorpe in 1st, me in 2nd, and Bob in 3rd. Enjoy!

November is the New May
Where did the season go? It's November and I'm finally posting the May race. Shame on me! Well, here's the first in a series of tardy video posts.
May at WSIR was an amazing weekend. This video is from Sunday and the pack was running TIGHT! Thorpe took the lead early, as Thorpe often does, and his video wasn't much to look at so this one is shot entirely from Jim's footage; which is awesome. I wont ruin the ending but I will say that the difference between me and Jim at the finish was 0.024 seconds!
