Sam's car has been prepared further than Jim and Jacks cars. That being
said, Sam is one of the best drivers in the SCCA EP class and has track
records at several tracks in that class. I think he also won the National
championship this year in the class he runs in NASA. He did feel bad about
running off from everybody but he only knows one way to race and that is
wide open.

Watching the video brought up a couple of questions.
Are the 3 Catabwa Island TR6's all running the same equipment and is Sam
that
good?
Did both the Group 44 TR6 and TR8 blow engines in the same weekend? I think
that was the TR6 that went in smoking and left an oil slick on pit entry.
