Ditto. Couldn't have been earned by a nicer guy - congrats.

Dave also builds his own motors in his garage - even more impressive.

Yes tech was rather detailed. However in race of this stature it is imperitive to make sure the top cars get looked at closely. If for no other reason than to prove to their compeitiors that those cars are legal.


Cheating in 944 spec is not tolerated. Chuck, Tim, Ken, Eric and I all work on the "Trust but verify" mind set. We expected that the cars were ok and, but owed it to the rest of the class to verify that as best we could.



Dave and Tyler nice running guys... You ran some really good laps in that race. Impressive stuff.

Watched the race live (with my Tuxedo on - long story!). Dave had some incredible 1st laps, then it was Tylers turn to run the smoking laps to close a big gap, and finally they both were running in the 2:19's! Can't blame Tyler for trying to stuff it in there in the last corner or two - he had enough lead to still come in 2nd with the spin, and it was down to the wire!

Tech seemed serious throughout the classes - DQ's in CMC, HC, and SM, but not 944 Spec! John Lindsey specifically commented on how clean the class was, even with a detailed inspection, during the live commentary at the race. The live broadcast of the race was much better than last year. John knows the names & stories so much better...

Way to go guys, all up and down the class. No cheater's allowed!
