Hello all,
I just wanted to post a few comments on the the Spokane triple race weekend. We came down from Calgary, what a great drive. Very scenic and it went by really fast too! We arrived at the track Wednesday to a warm reception, got through tech and we were ready for the dial in day. We
had a huge fun time on Thursday, met tons of nice people and got the car working good. As some of you know the Db Police and I started a relationship that I was hoping to avoid. without the help of George Doran, Dave Gaylord and Randy Blaylock we would not have turned a wheel but
with their help we got to an acceptable Db level. I have to mention here that the officials were very willing to do what ever they could to help us out with "hardship laps" aiding us to get to an acceptable Db level and finally we did. Thanks to all of you who helped us out, very gracious of
you all.
Racing on the track layout was wicked fun! fast, some great corners and very tricky in some spots. After the race on Saturday I had a smile on my face that didn't leave for a few days. The race was organized very well, the Pizza was a nice touch to be sure and all in all the food at the
track was great! it's so cool to see and be involved in a well run race weekend, all of you in NWMS should be proud, very well done. And a thank you as well needs to go to Spokane County for having the fortitude to be an owner of a race track, community support for auto racing...very
refreshing.
Sadly we could not stay for Sundays racing but I am sure it was just as good as the days previous. Recalling the race we were in, I have to say the corner workers had a really good view of the racing. I think I exchanged the lead 8 times in the first 10 laps, extremely exciting to drive and
watch from the cockpit.
We did post a video on youtube; ICSCC Group 3, Spokane NWMS host short version. it is of the first 10 laps, about 12 minutes, I have been trying to get the whole race posted but am having some difficulties doing so. The only bad thing for us
was the gravel and golf ball sized rocks that got kicked up on the track surface near the start finish line! I could not get out of the way of it. Broke a new carbon front wing, damaged my helmet and ripped off the air vents on the helmet and
destroyed a new visor. If there was one thing that I could change it would be what surrounds the track, specifically the run off areas.
In closing, I did join NWMS club and the ICSCC and will no doubt be spending more time down with you in the ICSCC, so far from what we have seen, you the members and the officials make racing with you very hard to resist. Kudos to you all, very very well done. Hope to see you all
again before the year is out.
Thanks for having us.
