Race Recap

Sunday was one hot day.  The heat index was over 100 degrees.  The one thing bad about these old formula cars is that the radiator is directly in front of the driver.

The first couple of laps of the race I was able to better my qualifying time by over 6 seconds.  But the cars in front of me started to pull away and the cars behind, faded back.  By now I was pretty much alone.  By the 5th lap my water temperature was at 250 degree's, by the 7th lap I was losing 3rd gear.  With one lap left, I slowed down and took the checkered flag. 

Tony Adamowicz took 1st place. 
 I was 2nd in class, 4th overall.

Eric's weekend did not go well,  he spent most of it working on a fuel problem.  Only turned a couple of laps in the race and then stopped with a water coolant leak.  He has 2 months before the next race, he really needs some track time to resolve all those little problems.

Sunday night through Chicago, no traffic.
