So right now it looks like it will only be myself and one other FFRC at the next race, and both of us are still running the old power. I am typically faster than the other FFRC guy at this track so I can probably get the win. The Vintage race director emailed me today and asked if the two of us would run in Vintage instead of FFRC. So do I run in FFRC and get a couple of points, or run in Vintage and have more people to race against.

The group looks pretty interesting:
65 Mustang
66 Mustang
68 Firebird
71 Datsun 240Z
72 Porsche 911
73 Corvette
77 Nissan 280z
74 AMC Javelin

I got a great view of the Vintage race at Road Atlanta Last year.

That vintage race looks like it would be a blast. I'm looking forward to the vintage race up here at Waterford Hills (a nice vintage track at 54 years!) this summer. John Morton is supposed to be there this year too.

 

Talk about false advertising! So I convinced the other FFRC driver that we should run Vintage and play with the other cars listed as promoted by “someone”. It sure sounded like fun. Now I find out that those are the cars that have registered SOMETIME this year, not for the next event. Right now there is only one other car registered (a 67 Firebird). I am disappointed.

 

Lame!

 

Think we have a 73 911 coming now.

 

Prepped, cleaned, and packed up for my first Vintage race. This should be a lot of fun.

 

Best of Luck to you ...in the rain

 

What rain??

 

So things didn't start out as planned:

Saturday Qualifying

Here 's the actual race from Saturday. Not nearly as close or as exciting as Sunday's, but still fun none the less.

John D, I think with 2 or 3 more laps I could have caught the Subaru...but at least I got him for you on Sunday.

 

OK, here is the more exciting race from this past weekend.

BTW, of you like to watch automotive carnage then you will like this video.

 

You looked very smooth, under control, and with great brakes...good job!

Looks like you have the new hardware dialed in now.

 

Seems to be working pretty well. I wish I had the new power to go with the new brakes, but for now still my lowly 2011 level power. BTW, I bet all that gave John D a bit of a scare too.

 

Here is the incident at the Thunder start from track side.

 

How much damage did the 42 car have?

 

That's exactly what I was thinking. He just kept on racing like nobody's business. Nothing was leaking? That looked like a hard hit.

 

Not much from what I understand. I haven't talk to him since the end of the race though to see how he and the car faired.

 

The May 19-20 Outlaw Vintage race slide show is now up. Take a look.
