*#98 Scored manually - Fast lap not accurate

That should take care of it!

 

How the HELL did you post those so fookin fast? I left the track immediately after the race and I only live an hour away!!!

So the race went to Ratcliff? When I left, the transponders had him and Corey at a dead heat.

Best race I've ever seen. This time I mean it. Corey and Alex swapped the lead 3 times each lap.

 

Some1 better have some phat in car vids for us to watch!!!!

 

Nice Run Franza.

to all.

D

 

 

Congrats Jason!

Guess the trip down was worth it after all

 

i want vids too!

 

How the HELL did you post those so fookin fast?

Actually...

I had my laptop in the control tower with 1-800 acces to the internet that drumsy used

thru #4 and #5 two wide...

 

"thru #4 and #5 two wide... "

ON just about every lap. somtime thru 1-5 side by side, and down roller coast side by side at least 3 times if not more... what a race.

 

Those results don't tell the full story. There was a ton of good racing going on. ESPECIALLY between Alex and Corey. I ran to start/finish for the finish, and I couldn't even tell who crossed the line first, it was that close!

Well, hopefully my **** will be working soon, although I did have a blast driving my M3. That thing is the best god damn handling car that I've ever driven. Not the fastest, but it is super predictable, and does exactly what you want it to, with no surprises.

Must get honda racing fix....

 

I NEED HOOSIERS!!!

Hell yes, awesome race indeed

Jason-
who had a front row seat for the first 10 or so laps...

 

It was an incredibly close and exciting race on Sunday..... I can't wait til next year's season. Congratulations to everyone (especially Jason, "Rookie of the year" ).

Thanks for everything Karl, Scott and NASA!!! ECHC 0wnz!!!

One can't help but wonder what the race would have been like if the top qualifier on Saturday was able to run in either race.....

For those not "in the know", Adam Curpier qualified on the pole for Saturday's race, but blew his clutch on the last lap of the qualifying session and didn't make it into either race.

I was there along with Warren. With the Chief of the Grid's permission, I actually came all the way up to the armco to watch them cross the line. Alex beat Corey to the line by about 1 foot, but Corey was passing him at the time. The transponder receiver is located just slightly after the start/finish line, which is why it read a dead heat though Alex did win the race.

By FAR the most exciting race I've ever watched. It wasn't just that Corey and Alex were swapping places like madmen, it was that they were passing each other on skill, not because the other made mistakes. It was clean, and a THRILL to watch. It almost made up for me not being able to be out there myself - ALMOST.

Corey and Alex
Richard Floyd for taking H5 in style (with no brakes left)
Todd for managing to take two H1 wins with a blown headgasket and overheating engine
Scott and Karl for reasons that don't have to be listed
The $@&#ers who stole my car and kept me from racing with you.

Jacobs for rookie of the year!

 

<-- hopes this means that all future Rookie of the Year recipients get the "Jason Franza Rookie of the Year Award."

 

Jason Franza = Rookie of the Year
I am a series Vet...

Karl Shultz = Driver of the year, no one deserved the award more, Great Job Karl..

 

That was some of the most entertaining racing I have seen all year, and that includes the stuff on TV!!

I can't wait to see the videos, but I'm afraid we are going to miss half the action because they spent half the time side by side!

Do both drivers have cameras? If so, someone is going to have to take both vids and edit them together so that we don't miss the action.

Good job to all the ECHC racers and award winners!

 

Seriously, that was probably one of the best races I've seen in quite some time. I've got a lap chart that shows 5-6 lead changes, and that's just coming across the start/finish. That's not including any lead changes that may have been regained on the rest of the course.

Novice group was running next, so I was on grid at the time so I didn't have a chance to get a close-up of the finish. Matt (Dragon) was kind enough to videotape half of the race for me, including the finish. The finish was so close, Control had to use the footage to verify the winner. According to Mark, it was Alex by a foot.

Good racing to all this weekend!

 

Oops sorry, I wasn't aware rookie of the year had been voted upon already. Congrats Jason!

 

Just realizing the irony. This indeed IS a Japanese auto manufacturer's series -
There is now an annual Rice-Wine Awards Presentation

 

LMAO! That's funny, but not as funny as "To da muddy tizzop, y0!"

Really missed you out there, bro

 

yes both did have cameras, but unfortunately Coreys video tape ran out before the finish

there is still some really good racing to watch and who knows what Alex has on video

Morgan - still without a working cigarette lighter
