For those that are interested.

Martin and Melanie Snow aren't racing their Porsche in professional series this 
year.  Instead they got a Spec Miata and are coaching their 14 year old son.  
Madison, their son spent the weekend racing.  Martin jumped in the car during 
the Lap Battle laps to help turn the chassis.  I think Martin just can't stay 
out of a car while at the track.  Madison didn't do anything stupid but was 
about 5 seconds a lap off the pace.

New cars on the track and other happenings.

Randy Mitchell dumped the 2 liter Ford engine in his Van Diemen F.C and 
replaced it with a 1,000 cc Suzuki.

John Potter crashed his Porsche when he started from the last position in 
Saturdays feature race and tried to pass the entire field on the front straight.

The Swift DB4 Toyota Atlantic and Formula Renault from Canada came back.  The 
Swift collided with one of blue Star Mazda's and took out the front suspension 
of the Swift and the nose on the Star.

Mike has recorded the incident in the Spec Mazda race.

Check out Mikes web site or Ray's for photos.

The Lotus 2/Eleven came out to play.

The wings and things class had a huge field of 6 on Saturday and started with 4 
cars on Sunday and 3 managed to see the finish.

Ray the Rat even managed to show up in his usual suave & debonair manner.

Overall it was a great two days at the track, infinitely better than any day of 
work.

3 weeks till the SCCA Great Salt race.
