Back on Course

August was a non-racing month for me. Too much going on. Buying a house, moving, Hurricanes, and stuff. I also found a minor maintenance issue on the car (torn caliper slide bolt boot). I missed 2 events, so my chances in the season standings are pretty slim now, but the good/bad news is that the top driver decided to graduate to Pro class.  So the standings when I returned looked like this after event 5 & 6:

Don Kuehl (Blue Supercharged CRX)(4 events)39 points
Brian Kuehl (Blue Supercharged CRX)(2 events)18 points
Gus Heck (Black N/A Lotus Elise)(3 events)11 points
Matt Neiman (Blue Turbo/Stroked Miata)(3 events)11 points
Camron Bosnic (Flamed Turbo 240SX)(2 events)9 points
Bill Sallie(Blue Corvette with engine swap)(3 event)9 points
Gerard Mauvis (2003 Porsche 911C4S)(1 event)6 points
Chris Raposo (1994 Miata)(1 event)3 points

So the good news there, is that Matt didn't make it to the New Hampshire race, and we are now tied. Brian who is probably the fastest driver, has moved on to pro class. Then comes Event 7. Beautiful day, and an awesome course, which was a re-hash of some course elements that were used at Nationals. I had a good day, and took home my second ever second place trophy. Still waiting for a first, but beating the CRX is a tough nut to crack.

Don Kuehl (Blue Supercharged CRX)(5 events)48 points
Brian Kuehl (Blue Supercharged CRX)(2 events)18 points
Gus Heck (Black N/A Lotus Elise)(4 events)17 points
Matt Neiman (Blue Turbo/Stroked Miata)(3 events)11 points
Camron Bosnic (Flamed Turbo 240SX)(2 events)9 points
Bill Sallie(Blue Corvette with engine swap)(3 event)9 points
Gerard Mauvis (2003 Porsche 911C4S)(1 event)6 points
Chris Raposo (1994 Miata)(2 event)7 points
Gregory Walter (Blue/White Turbo Miata)(1 event)3 points
Bill Brundige (Blue Turbo/Stroked Miata)(1 event)2 points
Andrew Leonas (White '91 Turbo RX-7)(1 event)2 points
