3rd Race, 3rd Win ?
Well, My last race at Sebring in September was mixed. My Son, Austin qualified the car for the regional races, and I qualified for the ECR Enduro race. This was his first time in the new car, and he performed well. I was a couple seconds quicker for the enduro qualifing.
The enduro started out fine, but inclement weather soon put a damper on it. We were on slicks, and at first in the slight drizzle they were good. Then the skys opened and it was a downpour. Ya know when your on the highway in the rain and people put their flashers on and pull off the road, well, that was Sebring. I was about to come to the pits for the driver change and rain tires(stock tires) but the field was then under control of the safty car and we parked on the back straight for 30 minutes or so, then we started underway again with a black flag all and proceeded to the pit lane and the race was checkered at about the half way mark. The good news is I won my class, the bad news is the race is not official still yet according to ECR rule makers.
