<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Anthony, I did not get a chance to stop by your paddock, but saw you driving around down in the north paddock at one point during the week. Did not see you at the NER party Tuesday night. I was racing in my FP Miata. My son was there too in my Bumble Bee Miata, but blew the engine Monday afternoon. No one was willing to sell their spare engine, so he went home sad. While I had the same HP as the winning Miata with a Prather engine, I needed to find another 10 seconds (found 8 for my first qualifying session, but still needed 10 more to be in the mix). First time at RA and only got one full test day session and one full qualifying. Others were cut to 2 or 3 laps due to crashes. I was surprised by the number of crashes in most groups during the week. FP Miata driver paddocked next to me went to the hospital (dropped a wheel off coming out of carousel, spun and hit wall), one Spec Miata driver was air lifted out during qualifying (trying to go 3 wide thru kink), while others went by ambulance to hospital, GT1 driver, <span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Lou Gigliotti, who started his race career in what is now my TR3A,</span></span> went to hospital with multiple fractures. </div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">My goal for the race was just to keep my nose clean (Jesse Prather's advice too) and finish. I started 23rd and finished 15th. Had a couple cars to race with at the back, so that kept it interesting. Only got down to 1:46.3.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">JoeB</div><div><br></div>
