Lowly SCCA Club results

I don't normally post amateur club stuff, but I just can't help it. I've never had a race this good. Spec Racer Ford is a tough class and I managed to win after starting last and in a 23-car field at the inaugural SCCA Majors National race at Texas Motor Speedway on Sunday, and I am still pinching myself.

"Keith Verges, of Dallas, Texas, was on the wrong end of Saturday’s Spec Racer Ford photo finish, and had to start from the rear of the field Sunday after retiring during the qualifying race. But that did not deter him from slicing through the 23-car field and into the lead by lap six. Driving his No. 69 Apex Driving Academy Spec Racer Ford, Verges held off Saturday winner and early leader Denny Stripling and his No. 4 Lightspeed Motorsports entry to take the win. Rick Bellew took the lead briefly in his No. 10 entry, but a problem with his arm restraints caused him to miss a shift, dropping him to third place."

Saturday was also an amazing race, with timing and scoring placing me first by .004, but a literal photo finish going to Denny. And in the qualifying race in which I had a DNF, places 1-4 were covered by .16 sec.

 

Too early to say about Runoffs, but maybe. It is nice to think I can show up with a competitive car, unlike prior experience. If Denny Stripling and I can pound on each other hard enough to raise our game, then it might be worth a shot.

 

I rented a little bit in 2010-11 but bought a car last year and have been working on getting it fully up to speed. Actually, Tom Dalrymple has been doing all the real work and it is nice to have someone help so I can focus more on driving and just enjoying the weekend.

I'd love to race in SEDIV, but have not done so in SRF as yet. I've only done maybe 12 races in SRF so far and so have not gotten around too much

 

Sadly, no video. Camera was stupidly misplaced by this complete moron ....
