This event marked my second race weekend of the 2010 season. While I took the majority of the front part of the season to build an engine, that initiative was put on hiatus as we removed 200 cubic yards of debris from under our front yard.
Saturday I had a pretty good view of the excitement in turn 4 at the start and made a decision to go for the motorcycle chicane to avoid potrntial carnage. Lako saved it and everyone avoided him with Laura getting the raw end rubbing the tire wall after moving to avoid Steve. After that I had a good time mixing it up with Jim, John, and Shaun through the rest of the race. In hindsight I was overdriving the car a little resulting in a ride through the gravel trap (and the air) exiting turn 5 on the last lap. Here is Saturday's video:
Shaun had some great video of our battle as well:

Sunday was similar where I found myself driving up through from the back as much as I could. My race ended early as the main battery cable broke loose and shorted out against the hood bracket and burning off the electrical tape. Here is the video:
Time to start work on the engine to get some power and back up towards the front.
