    A special thanks to everyone who made it happen. Once again CCR has reached 30 Ferrari challenge cars on grid. This time as the feature race of the FCA National 50th anniversary.

    Special thanks to Yulia, Pete A. and Ken Fengler who are taking my place, as I tragically am out of the country on a project. Imagine my wife, running a Ferrari race when I cannot be there!

    Considering there are about 8 new drivers for this race, and a great 355 field, it demonstrates how successful the series has become.

    Good luck everyone, be safe and make us proud! It's hard to be on the sidelines! I know Mark Mckenzie and Cooper McNeil are happy Im not there so they have a chance to win! ;)

    We really missed you John!

    Cooper schooled all of us on RdAmerica Saturday, but he couldn't make Sunday's race.

    Beautiful weather, awesome track, terrific event.

    Thanks for making it possible!

    Great job to everyone, and congrats to all podium winners...(especially our drivers Mckenzie, Rubbo, Castellana and Petit...:).

    Also, probably one of the best CCR battles to day between Joe Rubbo and Jason Kennedy...trading positions twice in 1 turn! Great, clean racing!

    We only ran one qualifying session, and I had pole at 2:16.989 for about 2 minutes and that whippersnapper, Coop, went 2:16.980. Suddenly it was 2011 all over again...

    LOL, that is fun fun. So you think just under 2:17 was about as fast as you guys could get under conditions?

    There is a 16M in Blue DE group that claims he was going 2:18's on R6's. I can't remember if you ever had a 16M, what do you imagine the lap delta is between 16M on R6's vs. your modified 430 C on slicks? Congrats on your win!

    Mmmmmmm. Perhaps he was turning right at T5 then going back to the front straight through the paddock????

    I spent a fair amount of time in a 430Scuderia at Tremblant, and they are awesome cars, but there is no way a 16M does 2:18s at RdAm on R6s.

    I was with some of the Continental group Saturday night at Siebkens for a while. Scott was trying to get Coop to head back to his room because of the Sunday race.

    You guys were FLYING. I was photographing during the qualifying session and I couldn't believe how much faster you were than everyone else. The visual difference is stunning in the speed carried through the corners. Although I thought Cooper was going to wreck multiple times - he was using ALL of the track and then some.
