Watkins Glen 1973 Porsche RSR Race Reports

[DJCruicky]

Qually was very tight 3rd 4th and 5th, almost the same time. I managed to be the 4th on the grid.

Race 1:
Me and Ed had a great start, I jumped straight to 2nd and Ed in 1st. I could not put Ed under any pressure, I dropped back from him as I was fighting off Ratus behind me. He was putting in some very fast times trying to find a way passed me. A recovering Rik over took Ratus, but I could just manage to keep Rik behind me to finish in 2nd .

Race 2:
Good start again in 2nd. I had Ratus on my Arse for almost the whole race again . Just like the 1st race we had a recovering Rik wanting passed us both again. This time Rik was successful and overtook us both. Rik went off to pester Ed at the front .
I think I was making a train again, just like last week, had 3 or 4 cars on my tail all wanting a sniff of me. "Who this slow poke up front" .
Just few laps to go and Ratus putting more pressure on me. I'm having to drive off the racing line to make it hard for him to overtake.
Lap last, he manages to find a way passed just before the finish.
Finished 4th.
Ratus well deserved 3rd, well done. New name for you 'Last Lap Rat-Arse'

To JPS I'm sure next race you will have better one.

CU all at Japan.
