Well, Dave won ST1 with a really trememdous effort, as is usual for him. Al Swears placed second and Ray Swears and Scott Welham having good runs and I think all Vipers in the top 5. I didn't have success, running with issues (rain in first session so everyone who lacked rain tires went to the back of the grid, then on the first dry session my front splitter came loose...(again)) that put me back with slower traffic all week...think I finished 5th in TTU. I made some ground on Sunday but never got what I consider a fast lap in. It was still a good time, although I can say a lack of cooperation in the TT group and a stupid Nat's rule that you can't pass on the first hot lap (which is when the A6 tire is in its prime...).

CONGRATS to ALL of the Viper Racers!!!

Wow, your car must still be pretty heavy to get 607 whp into TTU. Did you do much weight reduction?

Nice run Jim, congrats!

Mid OH is by far my favorite track
