So you're the guy?!
We were on the grid and heard about the wrecker being needed to pull out =
the flatbed.
Then the rains came.
No biggie, it's part of the fun. But it was kind of slick out there.
Glad you're OK; cars can be fixed.
Nice seeing all the Triumph guys there at PittRace. It will be a must-do =
in the future.
Too bad Scott had a problem; when I saw his car sitting on the grass =
(mud!) at the top of the hill I thought it might be serious.
There were a few glitches over the weekend but overall it was a good =
weekend.
Cheers, Bill

A little follow up. On a lighter note. I told the corner workers I was =
going to need a flatbed. A pickup truck with a tow rope shows up, assess =
the situation and called for a flatbed. Flatbed shows up and =
immediately sinks down to the wheels in mud. They had to call a second =
tow truck to now pull the flatbed out. The guy from the original pick up =
truck crew then comes over with a baseball bat and we proceed to tweak =
the sheet metal around enough to be able to be pulled out with his tow =
rope. All the while the next race group is gridded up ready to go out =
watching the rain clouds roll in. Which they did and proceed to open up =
about the time that group got the green flag. To you guys I apologize!

More thoughts. After we got in we had to go talk to the stewards. =
First they pulled the Alpha driver aside and got his version. Then they =
pulled me aside and got my version in which I described in great detail =
what I was sure happened. Then they asked if I would show them my GoPro =
video which I proceeded to do. Funny how what I thought I remembered =
happening in great detail didn't happen exactly that way. I felt kind of =
funny but the steward were good about it and said don't worry, that is =
usually what happens. I wasn't trying to lie about it, I truly thought =
those details where what took place. Anyhow, after they watched my video =
about 5 times they told me in was in the clear and that there was =
nothing I could have done and that I actually acted as a buffer for the =
Alpha and prevented him from driving straight into the armco at speed =
which would have been pretty bad for him. Lucky guy that Alpha driver =
is. :) His car hardly had any damage, my drivers side is well, not so =
good. As I was waiting for the tow I walked out on track and picked up a =
big chunk of fiberglass fender that broke off his car. He wait a minute, =
that must have been from a previous track event because people do not =
run fiberglass in vintage events do they? :)
