He used to run GT a few years back - picture stolen from Rchop



Windshield, headlights, and I think SCTA required him to whip up a top, or some such issue he encountered at Bonneville.  Looks MS these days, but as clean and tasteful an execution as any car on the track.

He's definitely found a home with ECTA.

Looks like you have a great day today - get your runs in - tomorrow looks less inviting.

Here is my photobucket link of bikes and cars in the staging lanes and starting line in Wilmington today.....I hope you enjoy!

http://s947.photobucket.com/user/GKABBT/library/Wilmington%2004272013?view=media#/user/GKABBT/library/Wilmington%2004272013?view=media&page=1&_suid=136709276603605079060825663629

Weather has been exceptional all day and have had many really good runs by both bikes and cars.
Had a couple of incidents this morning but what I heard were they were not major.

Met quite a few folks including Woody who will post his pics later today.

Looks like the weather is going to change tonight so we'll have to see what tomorrow brings.

Chris, I think you are correct on MS for Gerald's car. To me, it looks SO much better in this configuration:





As I posted earlier, the weather is supposed to be changing tonight so we'll see what tomorrow brings.

Cool – the Calaguiro team made the trip.  Something about the whole “ute” thing , hey, Gregg?  :cheers:

You are right about the "ute" thing.  :-D  It's been really fun to watch the speed gains over the years for the Calaguiro team.

As for the Caddy, every time I see Sean I tell him that car is so cool but so wrong!   :-D 
Truthfully though, that Cad is "BAD A$$"!  :-o

Glad you could see those pics. I still don't understand why you couldn't see the ones from yesterday.

Gerald's issue at the salt was that there is a J engine class for GT, NO J engine class for MS.

The SCTA-BNI rulebook lists at the end of the class rules which engine classes are available.

It's 7:00 AM and looking out of the hotel window, there is a lot of liquid precipitation falling from the sky.  :cry:
No pics from me today as I'm headed back to NC.....8 1/2 drive.  :-(
If there is racing today, hopefully Woody can post updates and pics as he is only 35 miles away.  :-D
All in all, a pretty good weekend!   :cheers:
