Been really busy this week and haven't had time to post. Here's a recap:
Friday - missed qualifying due to a fried mass air sensor. Car was running great till then. The Bimmerworld team and Randy M. did a great job trying to get me going but we just didn't get it done for qualifying. Started at the back of the pack and had a blast. Worked my way up to 13th overall and 7th CM with the 3rd fastest CM time at 2:05.something. Battery on camera must have given out as i have nothing. This would have been fun to watch. Many thanks to Isi for lending me his MAF as his car was out of commission with some broken diff bolts. That's always tough. And we've all been there, though that's no consolation.
Saturday - Qualified 5th. Had a good start (after turn 1 at least!) and had a great time trying to stay on Steve Bassen's tail for the race. Like a dog chasing a rabbit. Great fun! Finished 4th overall and 2nd CM. Turned a 2;03.something. Here's the video:
Sunday - Mass air sensor quit in qualifying. Randy quickly got me a new one installed and I got back out in time to qualify 3rd. Thanks Randy! Started 3rd and finished 3rd. Steve was on his game and I just didn't have anything for him. Turned my best lap of the weekend - 2:02.9 but it wasn't enough. I couldn't be more pleased considering it's my second race at the track and my last rookie race.

Raven builds an incredible car and the Bimmerworld S54 package rocks!!
Thanks to John, Steve and the team at Raven and James, Jason and the whole Bimmerworld team for all your help as I've worked through my "issues" of the past year.
Thanks to Peter Carroll for helping me with setup. Sorry your car was acting up. Would have been fun with another Raven car to play with.
