[Fot] SCCA Runoffs

[Anthony Parker]

Thanks Joe!

In southern PA on the way back to NH.

That was a very busy 5 weeks. New differential build, new rear uprights, new oil pan, new steering rack, new carbs, new throttle actuation system, new air dam, and rebuilt engine.  I got lucky that the crank was savable, and that race rods happened to be in stock.

Finishing the SCCA RunOffs, in any position, driving my GT6+ is a 15-year dream come true.
I'm very happy and had a great week at the event.

Car handled great and felt fast.  Of course, compared to the front runners I wasn't fast at all.  13 seconds/lap slow and 35 MPH slower at the speed trap.  Got lots of work to do.

I swear I met the owner or friend of an owner of every GT6 imported to the US during this event.  Constant stream of people coming up to look at the car, share stories, and offer congratulations or paint criticisms.

Thanks for everyone's help over the last month or so.

I just noticed that after all his tribulations with his cylinder head last week and a blown engine before that, that Anthony Parker finished 13th this morning at the Runoffs, in his EP GT6.  Congratulations Anthony!  Looked like a tough field against BMW Z3s and Mazda RX7s.  He was still on the lead lap, too.

There was also a TR8, driven by Jeff Young, but unfortunately he only did one lap.  I have not watched the race yet, but I am wondering if there was a crash, since a few cars only did 1 lap?
