I had fun racing in the middle/back. It was my first weekend on track since October so I was certainly rusty. Typically I run a little closer to the middle than the back but that was not the case this weekend. I was racing mostly with Fonte (I think that was his name) from Rochester and a little with Cofer.
I actually had an issue with a white spec e30, don’t know if it was Hall or Mariani or someone else. I was on the outside of them coming into 3 on the first lap, almost door to door, and they made a sudden move to the outside and pushed me off into the very wet grass. I’m not sure if they saw/heard me there or not. It seemed, based on how they moved, that they didn’t know I was there. I went for quite the long slide/spin (you can see it in O’Connell’s video on the forum). Unfortunately, I didn’t get video of this from my car. My video stopped on the front straight for some reason. I didn’t hit any tires or have any damage so I’m not worried about it.
I got separated from Fonte and Cofer on Sunday because of the restart from double yellow and all of the SSMs came in like a swarm of bees in turn 1. After that, I had fun running with some of those guys. Not a ton of track time for me with the red flag incident combined with a wiper issue on Saturday. Sunday was quite fun though. Looking forward to next time.
