Looks like Mike won TTU.

Was there rain/wet track for some of the sessions/races? The times were significantly different during the days.

Wally, do you think your engine expiration had anything to do with the smoking issues you've had recently?

Sorry you blew you engine. I knew something was up when you stopped coming by. I was working turn 9 and you were smoking pretty bad through 10 as well. I wanted to stop by and meet you in person but I couldn't find you after my shift was over. Hopefully I can catch you sometime tomorrow.

The race wad pretty fun to watch. Forbis had a good battle with Martin in the begining of the race and then a viper roadblock set him back to 2nd.

On the back straight, just after/in the kink. Scary as hell, let loose at about a buck 20, the back end swung out, I reigned it in and turned into the muddy/wet grass. Then I realized the car was smoking/maybe on fire and jumped out.

Video's pretty nuts.

Great racing up until that point. I had the lead for all of 1 lap in the middle of it somewhere. Great battles between P1-P4, and some kind of uuber powerful lotus exige cup walking me on the back straight by like 4-5 car lengths.

Took me 20 seconds to get out of the car after stopping. 10 were spent deciding whether to pull the fire cable... I decided not to.
