2014 Drive Against Prostate Cancer: Mid-Ohio Sports car Course

Mid-Ohio Sports car Course - Day Six (Part Four)

That's right - it's 1:45 am and I am righting a brief blog. The results are finally in for the second session at Mid-Ohio. Brian finished 15th overall and Neil 12th. After discussions with Brian and watching some in car video, the car stumbled a bit on power. We are not exactly sure why, but will continue to monitor the situation.

It drops us back to a tie in class with Neil and Woody. New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville, NJ is up tomorrow. The short, but very fast lighting course is on tap. Brian once again is at the helm and the task will be a big one as Woody is driving and Woody has experience on this particular track where Brian does not. Stay tuned.

As for me, I will be watching AND timing Andy Hollis change brake pads and camber on his Honda from wheels on ground to wheels back on in 10 minutes or he owes me $100.

Cheers and good night!

PS - hope everyone likes the photos?!
