For the first time at the track, you guys did a great job getting up to speed and learning to work the draft. Congrats on the lap times, finish, and largely problem free weekend!!

For sure considering the Triumph came to the track with the paint still wet and no decals.:shrug:

Nice to meet you Christian. We'll bench race some more at the next one.

thanks Marc! that makes me feel special......! Yes it was coming out of 6, letting the car drift out,crossed the rumble strips (on the right) and it snapped on me, long slide to try to save it but didn't. But hell I got to try out the safer barrier..........

I hope you didn't hurt it bad Charles. Did Greg run too or just Guy?

LOL! Very true!

Same here Marc. I'm sure I'll see you around at some of the other SE Events :). Do you have any plans to come up for the ARRC in November?

How did Jeff McCandless do in my old car? Black/purple RX7.

Hey Steve, Jeff did fine. I didn't get the chance to annoy him like I did Jeff and Ron but he was hanging with the Earp machine on Sunday. I think he beat him too.

Car still looks perfect.

Christian, I don't see myself at the ARRC anytime soon. Outta my league.

Not Charles here, but Greg didn't run the event and wasn't there on Saturday. I think Guy or Charles said he wasn't racing again until the runoffs, but I might be wrong on that.

Also, PM me your cell number. I lost it when I lost my phone a few months ago.
 
Steve (E), Jeff M. was cussing his underprepared, underpowered "ride" all weekend...lol...seriously, car looked and ran great all weekend.

We had a STRONG ITS field, and the Carolina contingent finished 10th to 15th or so each day in 25-30 car fields. I was lucky enough to lead the way both days, Jeff M. and Ron battled hard on Sunday for the spot right behind.

And a special thanks to Christian Shipp for being "supercrew" for us this weekend. We had a couple of issues (electrical on the TR imagine that, and a toe problem on the Z) that we would not have had time to correct if he wasn't there to help.

Thanks again.

Good runs by all, and CLEAN....Charles, sorry to hear about your damage, that ZX looked SWEET. Nice car.
 
Jeff,

Stopped by your garage on Sat. after your race to offer my congrats. You and Ron both did a tremendous job for your first outing at "The Great Roval". Spoke to Christian "Super Crew" Shipp for a bit but you were "indisposed"!

Hope to see you both on our turf again soon. You guys definitely held your own.

See ya next time.
 
Fellows,

Thanks much for all the help at Daytona and I really appreciate all the people that stopped by to say hello. We definitely felt welcome, much thanks!!

Marc and Christian, extra thanks goes out to both of you for getting us to where we were for the weekend. That track talk about and drive around was INVALUABLE for getting out there and feeling comfortable at quite an intimidating track. I hope to be able to return the favor to you guys in the future.

What a blast, fantastic weekend. I liked racing Daytona far better than I thought I would. Definitely an experience to remember. Florida region is excellent - well put on show and everyone I met was extremely helpful.

Here is a picture that Ron Munnerlyn, one of our Carolina posse, took of Jeff and I. Ron had a fantastic SM race finishing 7th on Sunday. Great spot in a tough field on a new track!

Thanks again!
Ron

Haha ... Thanks man. I can tell you that if feels damn good to finish. I started a little slow qualifying Saturday with 2:33, 44 overall, 10th in class but I finish 36th overall, 6th in class with fast lap of 2:30. On Sunday, I manage a 2:29 during qualifying, 34th overall, 6th in class and I finished 27th overall, 6th in class with a fast lap of 2:28.
