Did they stop the race because of Dennis Paul or was there something else going on?

Dennis got very loose....tank slapper through T1 somewhere soon after the green, maybe lap 2-3, car behind checked up and one of the Spec Miatas (staggered combined start) went off wide left and while waiting for clear track to get back on, a grass fire started smoldering to the left of T2, meanwhile, Carver's #76 driver, John, looped it at T10/11 and they had to call out the flatbed. Race was temporarily red flagged while the car was moved and the fire was put out, resumed with a 4 lap sprint to the finish.

Lane, y'all better have all y'all clearances to spec on that new engine...., Eon's car is pulling like a freight train, all PCA legal stock from the top to bottom and front to back... ;D

Just throwin' this out there, but, 'Will build 944 engine rotating assemblies for cash'.....

I want to give kudos to Eon for his top notch driving and getting 1st place in the red bracket on Sunday. I knew you could do it. Way to go young man!!!!!

Thanks! It was a fun weekend all around, I had a feeling it would be after qualifying. I was shocked to see that 24.6xx and ahead of the Gman! (even if it was that close lol) I knew the Nissan had to break out to come by everyone from the back like he did, but I never thought that the entire top 3 would have broken out and handed over the race! I'll take it either way ;D Was the camera rolling in the 007 for the Feature? We were all pretty close during the feature...

The camera was rolling, but I haven't viewed the footage. Been packing for a trip and will try to edit it on the road. Might not get done til after the Lemons. Large

Ditto that!

Eon made a great move at the start through 10 and 11 and didn't make a mistake after that. Chris, in the 007, stayed glued to my bumper the whole race...can't wait to see the video. I should have video up soon.

Hey Eon, now that you set your mirror up could you clean the back window? If I'm going to spend that much time behind you, I want to see my car better. ;D

Dude, it aint like the size of the file means you have to sit there cranking a handle faster or peddling a wheel harder......, just click the button with the mouse..... ;D

I hear ya G-Man, luckily, every now and then I'm ahead of a few peeps with video rolling so I can see my car on track....., Lord knows it aint out the windshield of any of the front runners...

I have my eye on a nice piece of lexan for you
I cant wait to see some of those videos... I bet the start was pretty good from Chris' view!

I have got a suggestion / request, how about weighing all of the "spec" miatas? I would not object to any other inspections, but I know the weight could be checked, we use to do it a few years back.

[chris]

I will see to it that a set of scales is available for the next event. All you guys need to do is supply the labor and interim boards to make it a drive up and over setup. I believe my Vette and 944 boards will be too long for the SM cars.

If the scales will double the SM turn out, I'll even supply the interim boards. How much fun would a 28 car Bracket / SM feature be?

good job eon... nice clean driving and the car is performing great and sounds stronger too. i made my living in red bracket pushing folks to break out and claiming those top spots. you can bet in good weather conditions like this past race its happens 99% of the time. under our new rules not sure how many more times hamza and dennis have left to stay in the group. those guys need to add some weight so can still play. i am looking forward to racing again sometime very soon.
