Down to 4th after day one it looks like.
Come on Mark, shoot some flames at them :)
East course heat 1 in:
Buetzer leading C Stock (surprise), but this time in an '07 Solstice. If he wins this year, he'll have won three years running... and in three different cars ('99 Sport, '07 MX-5 MSR, '07 Solstice Z0K). :wink:
Dan Pedroza in 2nd, and his co-driver Vivek Goel in 4th. MX-5 FTW! :mrgreen:
Bring on some Heat 2 Super Stock and D Prepared action!
Local boys update:
Just got a text from lugnutjon - Jeremy is 11th, Jon is 12th in Super Stock at the moment. Not sure if they're done for the day or not.
More updates...
Spokes yokel Drew Vanderploeg currently in 3rd in D Prepared.
Matt Braun leading Super Stock in an Elise. Top six cars are: Elise, Viper, Elise, C5 Z06, Viper, 996 GT3. Jon and Jeremy have the only C6 in the trophies. Cool to see that much variety in the top spots. Oh, and the Viper is on Kumhos!
E Stock is quickly becoming the old Miata class. The only MR-2 is in the last trophy spot. Miatas hold nine of the twelve trophy spots, including the top 3.
Gotta love how RX7's are beating 430 Scuderias in SM.
Can someone help me find Karting results? My dad's friend is there with from Albuquerque. Thanks
Not sure what class they would be but they may have not run yet they may run on Thurs/Fri.Quote:

The cart is in F125.
I would love to see someone duplicate a National champion SSM car for less than 35K. I was exaggerating on the Scuderia but I'd be willing to bet the money to duplicate (trial and error, r&d, tuning etc) that pair of FD's could get you a used 360.Quote:

I had to dig up the post
http://sccaforums.com/forums/thread/275235.aspx
"Price: $34,000/obo. You *might* be able to prep something for close to that cost, but that would be a no mistakes - everything right the first time - getting good deals - no extra stuff endeavor. Car will come with plenty of extras."
I agree a few mistakes and doing things 2-3 times you will be over 35K.
Now back on topic good luck guys at nats.
CSP looks interesting. Top 10, 6 NAs, 2 NBs, 2 NCs.
Didn't we already establish you don't fit in Miatas ;)Quote:

Good luck to all of the competitors, see you guys tomorrow.
Looks like Andy Hollis is in 5th after day one.
Mark Berry came in 3rd.
Greg Piper's got some catching up to do (11th, Gary's in 15th)
What the hell is going on in Lincoln? Foley is showing DFL in SS? Some really crazy times on day 2 (20 second gap from 1st to 3rd runs) lots of DNF's.
Strelnicks in SSM? 1 very slow run on day 2 and 9th? Same with Mckee, 15th after the lead on day 1? Did they share a broken car? Looks like their SO's ended up 2nd and 4th but each only had 2 runs?

Got a quick text from Jon that said rain is really messing up times in Super Stock. It must have started sometime during the end of 1st drivers 1st runs - notice the only 2nd driver still in the top 10 is Braun (yesterday's leader). Top ten numbers are 70, 75, 63, 74, 69, 59, 189 (Braun), 67, 77, 82. Looks like several people have elected to not even take their tird run (several DNSs on 3rd runs) which would indicate that conditions are getting worse.
Jon and J-Fo are running 97/197, and they don't have rain tires. :( Looks like they're out of the hunt for this year. Sorry to hear it.
Thanks for the update Altiain, I was wondering what was happing with the slower times in run 2 and way slower for third runs.
Also sorry about Jon's and Jeremy's bad luck they were looking good after day 1. Looks like Mark Wortham did well with an 8th place finish.:clap:
Looks like Dan held onto 2nd in C Stock.:clap:
Found this on miata.net - http://sololive.scca.com/
Bummer, hope conditions for the Thur/Fri group improve.
Best I've seen are Casey in FS w/ 2nd behind Strano, Berry in FP in 3rd and Erick got Nick by .001 in FSAE. Nick has ran a few events w/ER this year in his own FSAE he bought.
Deleted because I can't make the pictures work....
I think I can help Matt!

SCCA 2009 National Championships Welcome Party
Thanks for fixing me up POS. I was rushing to get to dinner and apparently was doing something wrong with the pics.
We confirmed today that a cone knocked over due to wake or water spray still counts. You can just make out a cone surfing the wave that was trailing Lorin's left front tire in one of the pics.
It had been lightly raining since part way through first heat. Not enough to get any water standing on the ground and barely enough to make you want rain gear. Sometime right after second heat started on the East course it began raining a lot harder. A handful of drivers got in 'dry' runs, but most were dealing with conditions like those in the pics of Lorin.
Lorin and Bob actually ran in third heat, and by then it had pretty much stopped raining. In fact they changed back to their Hoosiers from street tires because it was drying quickly. Those shots were from the south west corner of the east course where all the remaining surface water was draining off.
We're paddocked right next to JRJ12 and Brad. Ahem.
Let's try this again:
Bob doing a nice job looking way ahead

Andy Hollis came in 4th in ST with Wayne Adkins in 13th, 2 out of the trophies.
Greg Piper finished 9th in FM, 1 out of the trophies (Gary was 12th, Phil 15th).
Cool Tom is 7th so far! He was at Hallett 2 or 3 years ago and was smokin' fast, and had never been on a track. Just auto-x.
Just saw David Smart was running XP in 5th and Stan was 6th. Why is David running in XP?
Long story...The Blackwatch FrankenLotus is flying though.Quote:
