TOPIC: Sonoma Championship Recap and Video

Sonoma Championship Recap and Video 10 years ago #18492

Good racing all three days, great weather and good friends both old and new. The usual breakdowns were handled with the group pitching in with help and parts. Thanks to my enduro partner, Jim Hicks, for helping me change my broken spindle, caliper and brake line.

Thanks to Charlie and Laurie for hosting the group dinner Thursday. It was great. Ken Huey came up with a bunch of prizes for the entire group. Thanks Ken, that made being wrecked by the fool in the Miata a bit easier to take.

I had some good racing all three days with door to door action with Hicks on Friday, more door with Alberto in the red 44 through the S's Saturday and some rubbing and door to door with Atteberry through 10 on Sunday. Will post the video when I get time.

Glad Steve and Javier are OK after their tangle on Sunday.

I am posting my video of the Miata wrecking me as a what not to do reminder. How many times have we heard in the drivers meeting to "not race cars out of your class if they are racing each other". The clown in the Miata could of backed off and let us go but he has to try and race us. He misses his marks, goes off, comes back on, hits me, puts me into the tire wall, I spin then he doesn't get on his brakes and hits me again.

Not much you can do in that situation Jim. Even if you got on the brakes he may have still collected you.

But getting hit after the first contact is a full rookie move on his part. You were lucky to stay out of the walls.

Your line looks to be much improved.

The start of the race on Friday. A good battle with Hicks. I had him for a few turns. youtu.be/j8UQiUtg7BE

Sorry I did not get a chance to say goodbye to everyone. My wife had already left to return her rental car and I had to pick her up at the airport.
