Peter, is the Fall Festival open to spectators? If so, I might corral the family and come up and watch so racing.

Heck yes! Bring that car you want to sell Ron, I'll be crewing for him.

Finally got a chance to view this. Great stuff.
I wasn't quite sure if that yellow Bugeye saw you at first during that pass....I hate being in that situation.
We have a Volvo Amazon here in our area. Same deal: he runs away from me in the straights and I catch him in the turns.....that's what makes it fun!
Not quite sure what that dark-colour, slower fastback coupe was?

That's a Tornado Talisman

OK, now I don't feel so dumb. I was hoping it wasn't something obvious. :laugh:

That's one I never heard of!

Hey, thanks all for the comments!
As it is my first year racing, I appreciate all of the help you guys have given me.

The yellow car did see me. He is Gary Kropf, great guy and driver! He and I pit together and I asked him what he thought about my pass...I had to edit out much, but I was on him a few times and was all over him to get around him.

I had a good pass on him at Grattan as well...I think my car handles better and lets me stick where others loose grip. Although I am running Hoosiers, he is running Radials..

I cannot get away for the RA races...but anyone want to go out to Hallett in early October with me is welcome!

Also...the Talisman is a 3 litre I think..but must be a pig in the turns!
