5 cars with 7/10ths of a second between them!
I created a little html file to make it easier to look up results. Just save it and open it with a web browser.
Time to go back to work and stop living vicariously …

Carlton’s slowest qualifying lap was faster than all of the other SE30 fastest qualifying laps. Way to go Carlton!

carlton didn’t make weight so he finished last. Everyone else moved forward a position. Not sure if everybody knows but the the races on friday and saturday are scored using the normal points system and the average of the two finishing postions determines your starting position for sundays race. These points are not worth anything towards the mid-atlantic points chase. I’m tired so i’m going to get some sleep but I’m going to try and post the video from the race tomorrow. BTW we are all having a blast I wish more people could have made it out.

I did only one lap in the warmup because of a clunking sound in the right rear. After looking closely, I realized it was/is a rear pad shifting in the caliper.
For qualifying, I put two new (not shaved enough) tires on the front and lost time. Had I turned the same time as the Thursday practice day, I would have been second on the grid. Lesson learned.
For the race, I put the new tires on the rear and the car was very loose, but controllable. David Herrington, Robert Patton, and I had a great race. Nose-to-tail for the entire race, with a few positions swapped and swapped back during the race.

Awesome- thanks !. I just listen to Sat race and it sounded like fun. Who was the SpecE30 driver that ‘didn’t see’ (according to the commentators) Porsche (?) coming behind them and ‘slammed the door’ coming out of the corner ?
I wonder what happened to Steve Kapuschansky today in practice:[quote]Stephen Kapuschansky Best: 9:14.747 Laps: 1[/quote]
I think I heard that it was Chris Cobetto - it sounded like Hewitt in the Porsche GT3 Cup car tried to pass all of the spec e30 cars in one shot …
I was working on my car in the garage while listening - distant second best to being there

DNF: Carlton
It was a great race to listen to. It stole the show with a serious battle back from 5th from Cobetto.
The race was pretty exciting to listen to until Carter spun in the 12th lap. The announcers pretty much followed Chris and Carter exclusively up until that point. Does anyone know what happened to Carlton? Hope its nothing serious
Anyway, great race guys. Good job representing SE30 at the Nationals.
well I started 3rd today and got up to second place behind patton as patton missed a shift on the back straight I was right on his bumper through madness. Then I made a pretty big mistake trying to avoid him as I made a move up the hill. I basically did a u turn and came back into the middle of the track and saw chris, steve, and carlton heading straight towards me. I thought there was going to be a very bad accident but they did an awsome job avoiding me thank god! It was all my fault but I battled back and made up about 10 seconds and got by steve and al. I’m happy with 4th for my first time attending mid-ohio. The race was very interesting aside from just my incident. I will post the video tomorrow!
Well as I just missed going head first into Mike, I had to dive right and off track down the grass/hill and came back on track in 4th, 5 seconds later my car just died…shut off. I turned it over it would start run for 10 seconds and just die. I pulled into pits and my day was done before 1 lap. Any ideas on what is wrong the the car?
sorry to hear about your misfortune Carlton - sounds like a fuel delivery problem to me. Perhaps some lines got pinched?
cheers,
bruce

That Stinks Carlton after all that hard work to get it going again…Like mentioned above, look for the fuel lines along the rail to be squashed or kinked
If it turns out to not be a fuel delivery issue… you may also want to look at the wiring on you kill switch. It may sound crazy but JP had similar issues a while back and a bad connection to the switch was the cause.
