Once again it was a weekend with promise, but
uncooperative cars. Bobbie and Dan both returned to action by racing for
points: Bobbie with a new engine and Dan with a new suspension.
Saturday brought rain which was a help for Bobbie as the other guys didn't get
to use their fancy tires and she was rewarded with her best finish ever in 944
Cup: 13th in class and 21st overall. Dan nursed along the eVisory Cobra
with a missing a cylinder but managed to still set a personal best lap record
and garner a hard-fought sixth.
Sunday was dry and fast. In qualifying Dan ended up getting slight tap and came in when he heard a noise. An inspection of the car revealed nothing, but when the race came, the car made an awful grinding noise in turn one and the u-joint came apart by turn 6 to bring Dan to a stop on the side of the track. Bobbie's luck was any better: a loose bolt for the air cleaner ended her qualifying. We thought it was fixed but it came off early in the race again. Yet again: two DNFs. Sigh.
At least we picked up Lilianna and
got some finishes. Hopefully the Coupe will be ready soon.
