Congratulations to all on some very gentlemanly driving. Congrats especially to all who made this event possible, esp. getting the proper version of the track ready and hosting and keeping everyone up to date.
I was very fortunate to have the damage set so low. On lap 4 I spun and FLIPPED!. I came down right side up and noticed damage on my right rear. I was trying to keep Jerry and Mel behind me at that point; so they got by. After a few tentative corners, it seemed I could continue at my usual leisurely pace. I also got into a short battle with Hector who was very patient and made it by after another of my many mistakes. I over-shot pit entrance at the end of lap 7 and probably gave Rick N. the scare of his race. My pit crew changed tires, filled the tank, and repaired damage in 48 seconds. Wow! Who were those guys? I returned in P12, though Cosimo was was hot on my heels and took advantage of another little bobble to take that spot before the end. He definitely had the pace on me.
All in all a fun event with a great turn out. Good to know there are so many good drivers out there who also enjoy the historic cars in rF2.
