I know most of you guys went to Limerock but I figured I would give you an update about the glen race/ enduro. It was like limerock a wonderfull weekend in the glen and a perfect leap peeping weekend.
Unfourtunatly the race wasn't great for a few people.... we filled up that graveyard very well! The worst car was definetly a Neon that got destroyed..... I am amazed noone was injured and everyone walked away. I would certainly recomend everyone to read the safety readings on the car itself and then reevaluate if you really want to race a neon.
Added to the graveyard was my car
I finally had an awesome year winning several races and the championship, decided to go to the glen and have some fun.... I did and withing 7 laps on the long course I was knocking at the track record in class, a good 2-3 seconds avg. faster than any other car in class. My car was hooked up until my co driver went into the diving left hand corner heading to the toe of the boot with no brakes. he went in, according to the corner workers, at about 85mph went 10-12 feet in the air landed on the front bumper facing straight up in the air, spun around and landed on the nose. They couldn't understand why it didn't do an endo. The best part is that Mr Feno (co driver) was completly fine wiht no injuries... my car however decided it really didn't want to go to the arrc.
My brothers car which was running in first in ITB had an electrical fire because the transponder wire wasn't fused and shorted out on the frame rail. Not good since we ran it along the rest of the wiring harness for the car.
Dave and Joel did a great job avoiding incidents and winning in ITB. and then Dave and Bob came in second securing the Enduro championship for them! As far as the others I'm not to sure since my hands where full picking up wrecked cars.
The best part of the weekend had to be the 42 Killians that a very few of us went through at my table at the after party. Yes the glen region knows how to party... open bar with killians! Then the Bleechers Bar in downtown Watkins Glen with an awsome band and awsome locals! Great place if anyone is looking to party out there!
The weirdest thing..... Dan sheppard was at our table with the 42 beers and he was able to drive us to the bar.... is he really starting to mature?
