CART @ Road America Race Data and Discussion

I'll fix it

The last race we had with these cars I spent some time working on a qual setup and it worked. Did the same this time but it didn’t pan out – started in P9.

Got through Lap 1 in one piece and settled in chasing the cars ahead. Going through T-8 on the next lap I was surprised to see Mr. Lalonde come spinning onto the track just ahead of me.  I swerved left and just barely squeezed past. Thanks for missing me Gilles.

On lap 3 I started stalking Mr. Michaels in P6. A few laps later I was looking for a passing opportunity. As I followed right behind him through Canada Corner he veered off track right, hit the barrier, and came flying  back over the track in front of me (see below). Luckily he landed off to my left. Nice flight Deuce.

After that I ran alone in P6 until hitting the pits on lap 13. I came back out in P7 and was still alone in my racing bubble. Spent nearly all the rest of the race admiring the scenery. On the next to last lap I got excited by the sight of another car and waved to Mr. Page when he kindly let me by. Hope you saw the wave Aaron.

I crossed the finish line in P6. Interestingly, my setup beat me by finishing in P3 in the hands of Mr. Overton. I appreciate the shout out Matthew but think you also owe me a beer.
