NASA @ Putnam Park 5.17 and 5.18
Firstly, some of you may have heard about the accident that happened during one of Sunday's morning practice sessions, involving this car and it's driver:
I didn't get his name, but we wish him the best of luck and a fast, full recovery.
Onto the Hondas first, of course.
For his first time out, Allen did pretty well. The car still has a few issues to work out and the driver needs plenty more seat time, but I think he was able to run a 1:25:xx on Sunday which was our goal.
Mstewar in the old Myers Motorsports H4 car.
Mr. (I want to say... Mark?) Hopkins in the H2 Track Source car. It's super clean, and I swear I saw a Canonball America sticker on the side of the car
Bob Moser tore through the field pretty well this weekend. Always fun to watch.
I think the two THR cars got the most track time of any car this weekend. I saw this TL and the Integra out like every other session.
Saturday's race between Eric Waddell and the THR Integra (not sure which member was driving) was a great one to watch.
Someone's nice black NSX in the paddocks.
And the others:

Hey Don't forget us! 
The debut of our new PTE car, not much to look at yet, hopefully it will be better at midohio, still good for a 2nd place on sat. 3yr old Hoosiers FTW!!!

Re: (PIC Performance)
His name is Mark Siggelkow
from his wife, posted on the Nasa forums:
Everyone,
I know there are a lot of questions about Mark, so I thought I would take a few minutes and provide an update.
Mark is doing well, considering. He's awake and talking (and joking) and he even got up today and walked!! So now we know his head injury isn't too severe. Like a truly devoted "car guy" one of the first things he said, after "What happened?" was "How's Esther?" For those of you who don't know, Esther is his car. The 90 Audi Coupe Quattro that he has spent the last 6+ years, countless hours and $$ working on and building into the custom machine that he had out on the track on Sunday.
He still can't remember anything about Sunday morning. And he's upset that he has no in-car video to show off. But thanks to all of his safety gear, he has no fractures or other injuries. It's really a testiment to the importance of the Hans, helmet, cage and harnesses. Without all of them, I am certain this would be a completely different message.
I want to send a HUGE "Thank you" to all of the corner workers, ambulance teams, and safety team (that means you Joe! ) who got Mark out of his car and ready for his flight. It was your quick response that really helped us get the outcome we have today. I am so grateful to each and every one of you.
We are thankful for all of the thoughts and prayers from our NASA family.
Keep them up!
We hope to see you all soon!
