Shane,
I have a very fast GT2 car for sale if you want. Toyota reliability as well...'cept for the gas pedal keeps sticking and making it run fast lap times. Ran 1:19.001 fastest.
$13k come get it...tires are $420 shipped for some SERIOUS used rubber.
That or come get my '77 Porsche 911 and make a racecar out of it. Runs, drives, starts, stops, just finished fixing the rusted front suspension pan with new Porsche sheetmetal! $7k.

Patrick I appreciate the offers!!, but I bought my new race car last week!
I am going Vintage. 1965 Mustang Fastback.
Planning to build a GT350 R model clone. I have a small [glow=red,2,300]Shelby Fetish[/glow]. What could be more fun than 1965 technology - 400 HP, drum brakes, and bias ply tires - oh yeah it only weights 300 lbs. more than the miata

That hurts just to look at it. Best of luck getting your car repaired or replaced, as the case may be. I'm really glad you weren't hurt in that wreck. It just goes to show how the roll cage and safety equipment help us.

Both of us get 13/13's because we do not agree on who is at fault. If you pass Mitch and he turns into your car and knocks you into the concrete wall - you should have lifted to avoid his block. Never mind that you are going faster and your bumper is nearly up to his door on the straightaway. I have no problem with both of us getting 13/13's. It is not a problem for me since I don't have a race car anymore

Never mind that you are going faster and your bumper is nearly up to his door on the straightaway. Blocking is when you put your car in FRONT of your competitor. If you are not completely in front when you move over, the accident is your fault. I know our rules are not written quite that way, but everyone that is worth their salt will agree; if the guy you pass has to hit their brakes to keep from hitting you, it is a chop, not a pass. I've seen a lot of it going on and for the guys that think that is proper etiquette, the guys you do it to may quit being so nice. I'm not putting my car (somebody else's, whatever) into a wall to save yours. I'll do anything I can to try to miss people and I have lost plenty of passes due to getting chopped, but that situation isn't going to fly. Sorry about the hit, Shane. Let me know if you need anything in getting your new car together.

Never mind that you are going faster and your bumper is nearly up to his door on the straightaway. Second time I've heard two guys getting a 13 in this series because they couldn't agree on fault. I've been involved in three of those in PCA and all three were resolved only because of video, and two of them only because of the car's video behind us, which had a much better perspective of what actually happened. I'm sure you could get Fred's number from registration (Lois) to see if he had video. On another note, if the Mustang doesn't work out, I've got a '89 turbo 944 just itchin' to become a race car for $7K.

I might be wrong, but I thought that the 308 car received a 13/13 from the collision with Ben C. (#03) 12 months ago. If correct, then the 308 car was under a 13/13 for this race...?

The records were checked on Andys comment and the 03 was found at fault in that particular incident for failure to maintain control of his car going through the wall at turn 14. The little red book doesn't go away no matter who owns the facility. Just wanted to clear that up.

Here is the official entry to the 13/13 book for this event. A 13/13 penalty for the contact that was made at the race on Sunday March 7th. These are my results as they have been found. An incident between the SM #308 and SM #63 occurred on the straightaway during normal race conditions in the Feature race for event #6. After interviewing both drivers it has become clear to me that the driver of car #308 intended to block the pass that # 63 was making on the straightaway. This block was not made clean and contact occurred while making the maneuver. My findings are that the single blocking maneuver is legal, but was not completed cleanly. I therefor will assess a 13 to the 308 for failure to leave racing room. At this time both drivers do not agree and a 13 will be assessed to both of them. Thank you all for your time and continued support of our race series. Chris Carver Gulf Coast Race Series 225-931-2290

Just so I'm clear on how 13/13's are determined:
Your determination is that the 308 was at fault and receives a 13/13.
At this point I'm going to assume that the driver of the 63 car would agree with that; so the 308 must disagree. Right so far?
So, because the at fault driver disagrees on what happened and the subsequent determination, the 'not at fault' driver is assessed a 13/13?
