Got the engine swap done so add another entry to the mix. Is there any pit area where the SM guys pit together? I've raced there a couple times in the past so I'm familiar with the pit layout.

Yep, there sure was alot of carnage in the Saturday race, I ran over a cone in Sat practice that ripped by chin spoiler off and bent my tow hook, and a cone flew up and knocked the glass out of my pass. side mirror in qualifying abut I made it thru both races without a scratch somehow and I was behind almost every one of the smashes crashes and spins and managed to avoid them. My first race weekend and I finished 10th and 7th, sorry for the last lap pass Eric, I hope you didn't think I did a dive bomb on you, I watched my video back and I was definitely in front of you before the corner... But speaking of dive bombing, that was the #88 wasn't it? That guy wa in my SCCA school, nice guy but he is a dive bomber, he blew by me at the start of the Saturday race, but I passed him shortly thereafter, and he dive bombed me in turn three on the first lap of the Sunday race and I passed him by the 4th corner and never saw him again.... Maybe someone needs to tell him to watch it? I don't know how to make the video small enough to post but if I figure it out I will...

Its too bad about the carnage as it appeared 88's eyes were bigger than his brakes were. Been there done that. Sorry CJ!
Wasn't there comments in the past about the over-agressive driving in NASA. It appears that the over agressive driving can better be attributed to competitive cars looking for any advantage possible than the sanctioning body.
But again, I'm sorry that cars were damaged in the ensemble. Never like to see cars taken out. Not good for the class and especially for the driver.

Nice video, I was right in front of you, here's the same video from my car http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLcx-YrL04I I didn't edit out the pace lap though... If you click on my other videos, the rest of the videos of the race are there as well as Saturday's race. This was my first race so don't make fun of my crappy starts or my driving
