<div>The racing gods weren't with the spits over the week. Spitfires on the pole in two races. Sargis broke something in the rear and Tom's exhaust broke. Both cars were extremely fast and finished all the races this year, but the runoffs curse seemed
to hold true. Kristoffs had engine trouble early in the week and didn't make the race. </div>

<p class="MsoNormal">The initial torrid pace set by the two Spitfires in their respective class races, just to stay ahead of the more modern machinery, would have worked if the races were the same length as our vintage races are, but 23 laps/40 mins. Is just
too much methinks.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Still there was excellent racing in all the classes of cars that have fenders today. A superb example of race craft on display.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Triumphs aren't doing well at the Runoffs. Steve Sargis spun out of first and broke. Tom Feller finished about seventh. Never saw Ryan after the first qualifying day. One lap and out.
