2012!  Already here!   I've got some work to do to the car to get ready for the 2012 SCCA Regional races I plan to attend.  Soon we will be getting together to duscuss schedules and which race weekends we would like to attend.  Traveling to new tracks is on the list for 2012!  

8/1/11  IT-Fest is over.   Great weekend!  Finished 6th on Sat. and had to run the last 4.5 laps without brakes.  (My fault - won't make the mistake of trying to stretch the brakes to the end!)  Sunday - I had contact at the start and ended up with a tire going down.   That led to the tire coming apart and ending my race.  Probably some bent parts in the suspension and some bodywork to get done by the next event.  Still waiting on more video of the contact before posting any additional comments about it.   :)

6/9/11  First Double Regional race weekend complete.  Very light turnout in ITA and I was able to win both races!  Was hoping a few more folks would bave showed up, but I'm very happy with the wins (and points)!  The weekend was WET.  Started the day on Thursday with nothing but trouble.  One thing after another and almost gave up!  I pulled myself together and it was a great weekend!

Next is the IT-Fest weekend at the end of july.  Looking forward to that one - should bring out the best in the country and really show me where I stand.  (probably 5-8th which is fine with me)

5/15/11 Getting ready for the first race of 2011!  WOR Games has moved from teh last race of the year to the first race!  Looking forward to getting back out with the Civic!  Going back to 14" rims with new Hankook tires for the start of the season.  General maintennce and the car is ready to go!  Gotta LOVE driving a Civic!

Check back for more updates after the race weekend!

10/10/10 Ohio Valley Region - SCCA - Double Regional at Mid-Ohio.  What a great weekend for racing!  Ended up in the gravel trap in the qual. race Sun. morning.  That put me starting 41st for the afternoon race.  This is the video of the first lap.  Ended up 7th overall and 4th in class.  Was on pace to finish 3rd overall and 3rd in class, but I threw that away with a spin and an off or two...
