'71 VWSC @Sebring Post Race Data and Discussion

I made such a mess of it.

Congrats to all podiums and finishers... which I was barely capable of doing.

I had the pole in Pro. I was the fastest. But I did not remember the NARS starting procedures. I had looked at the race info and... for what ever reason... interpreted the black zone for a no pass zone. I knew fuel was going to be tight but my calculation gave me a marginal possibility of only having to stop once so I was concentrating on using minimal fuel during... the full formation lap. I did not know, I wasn't ready at all to start racing at the end of the black zone. I saw nothing except that I got rear ended and turn in the wall right at the start. Entirely my fault so I apologize to have been a rolling chicane as everyone took off.

After that, there was nothing to do and try to run as fast as I could but as I got to the field, I got caught by a car turning sideways and got all banged up in the process. At least I finished.
