Whew! 3 for 3, another great weekend. Had some really fun battles on the track, and even received one small war wound to remember it. Now hold the ITR track records at both Thunderhill (2:07.7) and Laguna Seca (1:47.1). Many thanks to Rod and Sterling McLane for all of the great crew help! Couldn't have done it without you guys! |

Had a great weekend! We chose to skip Saturday's festivities, so Josh had to start both races from the back of the field. Yet, he still took home two trophies and checkered flags, and had a lot of fun while passing a combined 35 cars or so. Great crew help this weekend from Tor and Guy McIlroy. Thanks for coming! |

Now 7-for-7, with a new ITR track record (1:55.389) at Infineon. First race was a lot of fun chasing a T1 Z06 Corvette around. Second race wasn't my best ever, but it was still a great weekend! |

As they say, "You can't win 'em all." I chose to skip Friday's qualifying session, so I had to start from the back in Saturday's race. Due to various issues with other cars, we only had 5 laps of green-flag racing. It took that long to catch James, and I was pulling inside for the pass when the double-yellow came out, and we never saw another green. So, James won! Then in Sunday's qualifying, the car seemed slow, and James' was really fast -- he outqualified me! Then in the race, I got a bad vibration during lap 1, which only got worse as time went on, even at slow speeds. I pulled into the pits to find all 5 lug nuts on the RF wheel VERY loose. Got them tightened, but the damage had been done and I was multiple laps down. So, now I'm 7-for-9. Can't win 'em all ... |

The new exhaust system and tuning by Edge Motorworks was a great success! Lap times improved by nearly 3 whole seconds, improving both the qualifying and race track records, with the faster at a 1:44.3! Unfortunately, the race was shortened considerably by yellow and red flags. Still, I won, and with that, secured the season championship! |
