[Reijo]

Live Scoring and live streaming video (from both courses) will be available like usual.  All the links can be found here:

Just scroll down the page for the video links.  Now's a good time to have two computers beside each other .... might have to stay up late to do work!

Just one other thing:  Lincoln is on Central Time so they are one hour ahead of us ... Competition begins at 9 am Central Time (8 am Mountain Time).

From Richard Arienzale from the west coast on FB:    John and Daymon Krotez from Vancouver are running in STX, Darrin Linders is running in HS in his BMW i3, and Val Ball is running the car in HSL.

From Toronto:

Dina O'Donnel in BSL (Jo and I drove her car the last 2 years in Lincoln).
Barry Greenaway in STR (he was my co-driver in Dina's car last year).

[Reijo]

thanks Murray!   Can't believe I missed Dina ... thought about her and looking for her earlier!   

[Reijo]

CS is running ... a number of national champions in there including Andy Hollis, Jason Saini, Bob Klingler .... anumber of CSP guys (Garfields), and S2000 people seem to have changed to the new Miata ... the ND.    86 competitors ... maybe only 83 with 3 no shows (DNF's)?

CS is the only class in the 2nd heat of the east course.  Usually a heat is about 60 competitors.....so a big one.

[Reijo]

Oh yes, forgot ... 20 minute course walk after the 2nd heat like normal.   This is an important walk to do to see where the marbles are and how much you have to change your "planned" attack on the course.

[Reijo]

Course walk is on the east course and then the 3rd heat begins ... AS and SS are running ... about 10-15 minutes from now.

[Reijo]

Oh yes, that new 2017 NSX will be running SS with Ryan/Wayne ... all "trial" runs .... times will not count.

[Reijo]

Cam jumps into 2nd behind Mark Daddio ("the" alien) and a tenth ahead of Glenn Hernandez on a rerun of his 1st run ... Jennifer Meridith spun out in front of him on his first run so a couple of re-runs in the AS group.

Good job Cam!  Tom had coned ... as did Ryan (Ryan would also be in the trophies in SS on his 1st run otherwise).

[Reijo]

Cam is 0.5 behind the alien.

[Reijo]

Behind Cam 0.020 is Glenn H. and 0.020 behind him is Jeff Cashmore ... both National level drivers.  Tom has now coned both runs unfortunately ... last run would've got him into 6th place ... a trophy!  Just gotta clean it up but keep the pedal down!

[Reijo]

Cam is now in 4th .... 0.2 behind 2nd ... couple of guys got him by thousandths and a tenth ... Improved by 0.015 on the last run ... think the tires might be getting too hot ... might be time for double watering to cool them?

Ryan cleaned up his last run and is just outside the trophies time-wise .... provisional running so his runs will be dnf'd at the end.

[Reijo]

Excepting a cone, Stephen would've been in 2nd place ... gotta clean it up!   Still in the trophies even with the cone though!

[Reijo]

Stephen cleaned up his 2nd run but was 0.5 sec. slower ... in last trophy spot - 9th.
