qually i finally got into the 1:15's Yeah, trouble was Rikard got into the 10's - you guys got to stay still so we can catch ya :-\
race one, went alright, until the pit stop - was wanting to keep pace with Jesus who pitted right before i did, so when my pit stop was done i smashed the throttle. well, you got to remember the pit speed limit - penalty! ??? according to results above i finished 16th, but i did finish. codo's to Teammate for his 12th - Way to go tim!
race two, was up to 10th on the outside of turn 2 - i don't think jim seen me or he was fighting something and i got tagged into the grass and sent jim flying over me. as i came back on track, riding on the white line along side cosimo, edwin moved over, not knowing that cosimo couldn't go anywhere and cosimo became the meat of a BT20 sandwich - he looped in front of me and we both hit the guardrail. my car was twichy from then on. managed to get 12th and tim finished 16th. we BOTH finished! Yeah, are plan of wearing down the hedlund's is working. the pressure of our charge made Rikard sick with worry 8)
Marcel and Hector - we miss ya - come back
on to silverstone.......
seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ya -- jer
I'm really sorry about the contact, Jerry. I did not see you at all. :-[ I ended up with damage to my right front and left rear, which I nursed along for most of the race. I was reluctant to stop because I figured my crew would want to fix all the damage. When I finally pitted, it turns out the damage was only to the tires and the stop was only 46 seconds. I should have stopped right away, as it turned out.
Great fun racing with all of you. I was very impressed with the way everyone was being careful of cars around them in the first turns at the start. A big shout out to Nikos for being so helpful ... not to mention the great looking skin. If you have a minute, look up Al Pease, a Canadian racer who just died recently. There are some interesting stories about him, and a couple interviews.
