Just got back in town. A quick report.
Saturday was, get this, BEAUTIFUL. About 75 degress and sunny by the time we (ITS/ITA/IT7) ran at 4 or so. Fields were thinned a bit becaus of the storm, but I still think we had 24 starters or so.
First five in S were Thompson (RX7), Echerich (RX7), Bryson (Miata), Stubbs (BMW), Newberry (240sx) I think for qual. Pole was a 52 or 53, I can't remember.
David, Steve, fastest Z was Bob Pharr at 57. Jay Miller and I were at 59.
Had a good race on Saturday between Pharr, Miller and me mid-pack. Didn't see the front obvoisly, but I think finish order was Thompson, Stubbs, Newberry, Echerich, Bryson (might be wrong).
In IT7, Ricky Thompason beat Dobson by a nose at the line. Great race.
Sunday, I had brake problems and lost all front brakes in qual. Had to park it. That sucked, but also was neat because I got to watch the race.
Stubbs, Thompson and Newberry put on absolutely the BEST show I have seen in an IT race at the front. They were separated by no more than a car length or two the entire race (1-2-3). Thompson on the poll, Stubbs dragged him at the start (we got the green at 9 before the Kink this weekend). Stubbs stayed in front almost the entire race (turning 54s I think). Newberry turned the fastest lap at a 53 and came from 5 on the grid to third quickly, and briefly got around Thompson for second.
Last lap Thompson came through the kink in front of stubbs, must have got him on the back side, with Newberry right on their bumpers. Stubbs went under him in 14 (?) right before the frontstretch and dragged him to the line. I thought Kent won by T&S said otherwise, adn Stubbs got the checkers.
David, Steve, missed having you guys.
Jeff
