Congrats to Team SoloRacer.com driver Dave McLean on his H Stock win at the 2005 SCCA Pro Solo Finale. Here's Dave...




Also, SoloRacer.com driver Craig Wilcox (shown below) finished 4th overall in the G Stock class...

 

an all Solar Red MC already in the states, modified and being raced.

Someone's connected.

EDIT: I just looked at the PDF. That MC is listed as an '05

 

Look at page 9 of 11

Ladies Class 1, the MINIs swept it !!!!!

 

Same story in G-stock, all MINIs. Congrats to NAM moderator Brian Garfield on his win.

 

I 2nd that, Brian put the smack down on GS for the finale, also placed 1st for the season points race and 2nd in the Finale Challenge as well as the points race for the challenge. MAN, how much contingency is that!?!?!?!?!?

 

I'd take issue with the description of Brian's win in the Pro Finale as a "smack down" since 1st through 3rd were within a tenth. And give yourself credit, only another tenth back in 4th. But he did a nice job of not giving up...even if it did take him 12 runs to catch the leader of the first two rounds (grin).

As always, great competition in HS and GS at the Pro Finale and Nationals this year. Congrats to everyone who came out to run.

Of course, "smack down" was a slight exageration. It was one helluva battle and great driving by you guys. Hopefully we'll have a re-match next year in GS. But, I'm told Brian is jumping ship to Karts.

I stuck a couple pics and a video of Dave up here

 

Jeff, haven't you ever heard of sandbagging? I was just waiting to see how fast you guys were going to go, so I could win by as close a margin as possible.

Remember, I'm good at the Challenges for a reason...

Congrats to Dave as well.
No, his MINI is no unusual color that I know of, simply Red with a Red roof, they've been around since 2002...

For those counting, it's $4500 between MINI and Kumho for the week, plus unknown monies from the SCCA. But if you think THAT's a lot, think about what Beth made. She did the same PLUS she won the Challenge PLUS won the Challenge Series for the year.

Thanks. I came to the same conclusion after watching the video.

Again, congratulations to you and the other MINI owners.
