SCCA Pro Solo Finale article

[Reijo]

Meanwhile on the other course (CAM Challenge), Dennis Healy of Portland has won CAMC in his 2015 Mustang.

Dennis, is originally from southern Ontario and moved to Portland maybe 10 years ago or so.

[Reijo]

There's still some fast guys running in BS ... Dan Bullis has coned 4 runs on the left side (?) ... and Alex Muresan is cleaning his act up and moving up the ranks ...

Ambrose did not improve much and sits 5th out of 6 ... Jay to run soon (RL'd both runs on one side in the morning).

Wayne is running now.

[Reijo]

I should add Monty Pack from the SF area is leading the pack in SS.

[Reijo]

Wayne just jumped up 4 spots from the basement on his last run ... good stuff.  One more run to go.

[Reijo]

In SSR, Matthew Braun (another alien you might say) is leading the way in the 2004 Z06 0.149 over GJ Dixon in the GT3 ... so tight there.  GJ has won before and has been driving GT3's for at least the last 10 years ... very fast guy.

[Reijo]

UGH, Jay has 3 RL's on the right side ... a run on each side to go.

[Reijo]

Just noticed in STR that Ron Bauer just RL'd his first two runs ... sort of unlike him ... I think they are all pushing the lights and there is that danger now.  STR is unbelievably close and tough!  If you don't push it, you could easily lose a half dozen places in less than the blink of an eye!

[Reijo]

Jay is missing 2 runs ... not sure what is going on ... should've run by now.

[MurrayPeterson]

Jay finally got a non-RL run on the right side, but he now is going into Sunday with 2 cones

Ryan sitting in second place in BS, .063 behind the leader.  Ryan -- breath in just before the finish line, and that should make up the difference   Wayne is about 2 seconds back, so he has a fairly large deficit to make up.

I was interested in CS, which is all MX-5's this year.  Of the 2 guys that beat me in Packwood, Brian Coulson is in the lead, with Maurice Valandia in 7th place.  However, Maurice is only 1/4 of a second back from Brian, so it is a tight, tight race.  Wish I was there in the fight.

[Reijo]

Ryan is running against the leader, Jeremy Foley.  Both coned on the first run (1 for Ryan, 2 for Jeremy).  Without the cone, Ryan would have had the lead.   

[Reijo]

2nd runs clean .. no change ... Foley ran almost his best left side run.  Ryan was slightly off on his right side.  Next run, warm tires, and Ryan was almost 0.4 faster excepting the cone ... so the time is there....

[Reijo]

There is audio now!

[Reijo]

Ryan into the lead by 0.153!

[Reijo]

Dang, Foley pulls it out in his final run and beats Ryan by 0.051 sec. ... over two courses.   Jeez that was close but nevertheless a good showing by Ryan!

[Reijo]

Ryan is still in the Super Challenge with a couple of guys below him (notably Mark Daddio who came in 2nd ... lost the lead today).

Ryan was also in the lead in the points coming into the Finale and depending on Jeremy's points coming in, I don't know who has won the overall title yet.  Have to check the points.

Ambrose improved a bit but then his last time did not display and Wayne improved a little bit.

Jay had not run yet....
