[Fot] Watkin's Glen

Sam's car was there and the Group 44 car, but Jim Stouffer's TR6 wasn't. I
would have thought it would have been there instead of the 44 car.

Yeah, I meant Turn One, not two, and I saw it on the ground the next
lap--thought it was a hose myself. Probably should have gone back after the
races and picked it up, it wasn't an inexpensive bit.


As I recall there were two TR6's, Tony and the TR250K and me--they waved me
in because I missed the presentation for Group 4.Ttony was second, Sam was
first and Jim stoufer was third. You might be talking about Tom Kreger--he
blew up. http://www.mylaps.com/results/showrun.jsp?id=951067

idea what happened except we had to remount the shock in single shear
because it was binding.

  We saw the shock drop off the car on corner one, it looked like a coolant
hose from where I was in the grandstand (black tube).


  I finished fifth, turned about a second slower than the group 4 race and
two seconds slower than the qualifying race, but I would have had to pick up
two seconds over my best time (2.222--pretty cool considering Peyote's
number is 222) to be in contention for fourth, four seconds to do anything
about third or second and TEN seconds to give Sam any trouble.

  What happened to the other TR6 driver that got third place? He didn't  go
to the Victory circle presentation. I took pictures of the four cars that
were there, then when I got a copy of the results noticed that one car was
missing.
