Sunday, race day

Sunday morning qualifying race went well until I had trouble with 2nd gear.  It was jumping out of gear.  Still finished on top of the grid.  But that put me back at pulling the gearbox out for the second time this weekend.  I getting fasting at it every time.   The race was not until 1:30 in the afternoon, more than enough time to replace the 2nd gear dog ring. 
The start of the race went fine,  my car can out accelerate the rest of the field with no problem.  On the third lap of 17, my clutch pedal went to the floor and did not come back up.  I up shift without the using the clutch pedal, but I do use it on the down shifts.  I had been working on my heel and toe braking the whole weekend, this made not using the clutch on down shifts and much easier.
I went onto finish the race in first place.  My main competition had car problems the whole weekend and never made more than a couple of laps.
Driving a F5000 car on a short track with many turns really takes a lot of work, I was exhausted after this event. But I got a lot of track time and really feel that my driving has improved.
Much work to do before my next race at Lime Rock in September.

Note, I forget to say that I didn't have to use the mufflers and it never rained the whole weekend.
