Eric is on his way to a championship

Nice mix in the top 5 - wonder what the vette "rewards" are going to be.

What happened to Fellows? He was parked on the front straight near the end of the race?

Also, crash at the end with 2 Vipers was brutal. I was sitting right in front of where it happened. Hope everyone was ok, the driver of the silver car hopped out quickly. The driver of the black one was really slow moving around.

I talked to the team after the race and they said the alternator failed.

Thanks. I found it on the World Challenge site as well:

"Fellows’ Cadillac came silently to a halt on the front straight, succumbing to what had been a race-long electrical problem."

One of those Viper drivers posts on this site. "Racetex" is Jeff Robbins, who moved from SCCA T1 to WCGT this year. I understand he had a bad incident at turn one. I heard he is OK (a friend was working the race for Champ Car and witnessed the wreck), but the car is "iffy."

Jeff, I hope things are OK for you, buddy.

good start but a long way off as LG has shown with a bad start to end up second later in the year. Lou almost had 2nd

Thanks for the kind words guys and your phone call David. Lost brakes going into turn one. Pretty scary hit thank God for the tires. Data shows I hit the wall going 90 mph. Car is on it's way back to roush for repair. I will be heading to Utah for round three. I had a really good race going. Had a terrible qual. time and started 27th. I made my way up to 18th and then got hit from behind and lost 5 spots. I was sarting to make up some positions when then brakes went. It was a blast running at the Beach, a track that I have been watching on TV for years.

It was an awesome race. LG started 4th and dropped back to 8th early in the race. He then picked off Archer, Pobst, Galati, and McCann to move back up to 4th, and got 3rd when Fellow's Caddy died.

I was watching the race down near T1, but missed the Viper crash as I was looking at the Jumbotron when it happened; glad both drivers are OK.

MistressMotorsports

From watching the incident, we figured it had to be something like that. I'm assuming you were in the black car? You didn't look like you were close enough to try a pass, and we didn't see any lock up or anything, so there was a lot of conjecture in the grandstand about what actually happened. Also, I didn't realize that any Viper drivers besides Scotty B were on this board. Glad you're ok, hope the car isn't too bad.

After the race the crew Chief had already secured another prepared car at 140K. No way they were fixing that car in time for Houston.

Car was pretty well munched.
