Robert thanks for pulling pit stop duty. And to Steve for fireman, etc.
As for the gas in the trunk that is good it kills bacteria. And there is a fire nozzle back there, but I wouldn’t advise smoking (Travis) near my car.
Strategically placed drain holes ensure safety comes first.
I fixed the Saturday video, sorry Robert, the exact times you posted are a little different now. I missed 5 or 6 clips when I made the movie. Didn’t watch the whole thing until today but its fixed now. here is the link again:

Nice video Brian. I don’t understand the DQ for aggressive driving though. From my view, others appear to be alot more aggresive than you were.

thanks a ton for helping us out!!
also a huge thanks to everyone that helped push jp’s car back in to the pits and to canterbury for fixing the issue…twice…you guys rock!
Robert worked his butt off on Friday…Some MLT notes, for those wondering how to come racing, I drove the car that finished 1st in class 3rd OA in the enduro to the track. we ran on 1.5 year old full tread RA1’s on bottlecaps. AAA has a new level called “Premier” that has 200 free towing in case you blow it up or wreck as long as you have the car licenced and insured. I broke a rocker arm on Sunday and still drove it home. You can do this on the cheap, sleep at the track and pack sandwiches. The enduro’s give you the most track time for the $ and is the best place to start. Having the extra day at the track makes the drive there even more worthwhile and it is much easier to drive in your comfort zone than in the sprints…plus you can split expenses with another driver…

Al your car is b@lls slow. I almost felt bad driving around you on Sunday. I won’t say passing since there was no race craft involved it was more like a highway pass.
Convince Chuck that you’re really a 318. I’d support you dropping 200 lbs out of that thing if you really make 120hp and aren’t sandbagging.

Thanks to Skeen for slumming with me, JP for the part, Travis and Pete for the setup advice, and all the Beertech guys for the laughs. It was a great weekend! 
I cant seem to post my race videos which is disappointing since the quality is not as bad as usual. Oh well. They were kind of boring to watch anyway. I was able to post a small video of my quali on sunday…

This is a hot lap (1:53.1) that put me second on the timesheets behind skeen.
Thanks to JP for watching his mirrors there at the end 
By the way, has anyone come across any good se30 pictures from the event? The official nasa ones were really bad.
Finally got my videos up from the weekend: http://mikeskeen.com/media_video.html (follow the links to Vimeo for HD).
Mount was a little too extended and caused vibration; should have it fixed up for next time.

Of me, Yeah I wish I had taped the Sunday race from turn 1. I saw a Miata really ram Jim during the transition to turn 2. And watching the ‘Pack Attack’ was somethin’ else!
