This was his first full event with the car, the first outing (last years May event) ending early when a race prepared stock connecting rod failed. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Thursday’s test and tune day was very useful getting the carbs sorted out. They still need some adjustments but the car ran great for the rest of the weekend. Unfortunately Friday was a rain out. Saturday despite having really bad tires, he was able to qualify first in his class, ahead of 4 big Healeys and finished the first feature race third in class. Sunday’s feature race found him finishing second in class on the bad tires!</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Despite the good results in competition on the track, his best on track performance was during the last session of the day on Thursday. On pregrid we painted “Sarah will U marry me” on the side of his GT6 so she could read it from her vantage point at turn 5. After about 3 laps he pulled off the track at the corner 5 escape road and drove over to Sarah and took a knee. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto" id="tmjah_g_1299">Richard Gehweiler</div><br></div>
