Default Who's coming to VIR NASA-Mid Atlantic this weekend?

I'm coming to do some coaching, haven't seen much activity here. Just too hot??? I'm not coming for the UTCC this year, was not worth the effort last year, just coming Sat & Sun.

Anybody?

I'll be there all 3 days... Losing weight the old fashion way... Dehydration. Ive already started downing fluids so I'm nice a bloated upon arrival.

I went up today for the Thunder race, and Danny was on his game. He qualified 2nd, but by lap 3 he had passed the SU car, and from there, as they say, the rest was history.

There was a double yellow on lap 4 or 5 and that's how it ended. Disappointing for the spectators, and certainly for the participants.

Damn! It was hot!

Just your mere presence must cause mustangs to crash and break down, and double yellows to ensue!

I heard that cars were strewn all around the course. I guess it was mostly mechanical issues, which means it was probably Mustangs.

Danny P. wins again.

Danny - 1st
Justin Matthews - 2nd
Peter McIntosh - 3rd
Greg Suchomel (Geerookie) - 4th
David Greenman - 5th (Randy Rippie's old car)
Michael Smith - 6th (Some kind of problem-Hopefully not serious)

DeSalvo was DQ'ed, wonder why?
