Congratulations Ryan Amazing job and thanks Reijo for the play by play. P.

[Reijo]

IN CM Corey Dyck (of Winnipeg and who was here for the regional), gets a re-run on a downed cone on his 3rd run and gets it done to claim the 7th and final trophy in his Citation Formula Ford! 

[Reijo]

In CSP after 1st runs, Neal is into the lead (after changing the transmission yesterday ... and the head gasket earlier in the week ... and not sure what else .. .think he has almost rebuilt the car - at Nats!  LOL)

Billy Davis would have the lead save for the cone ... so he has 2 runs left to correct the situation ... so a bit more pressure now.

In-car video from Corey Dyck in his FF from yesterday on the east course:

Great photo Ian!

Ryan will be at the Lancaster Center for the Awards banquet as we speak picking up his trophy.  If you are running Thurs./Fri., you can still go to the Tues/Wed. banquet btw ... did that last time I went a couple of years ago ...

Tomorrow Ambrose, Jay and Alan will be at it.

[Reijo]

Just noticed this video from (I think?) Kevin Gu - 51/2003 Z06 in SSR ... That east course reminds me of the Fort Macleod courses I have designed!  LOL

Ambrose and Jay are running right now on the west course (1st heat).  Ambrose is in the 4th (corrected from 6th) trophy place to begin and Jay hit a cone. 

Fred Zust went off-course on the west course ... a challenge visually with the course/cone layout by Roger. 

[Reijo]

Jess is running also on the west course in ASL ... hit a cone on the first run.

[Reijo]

FP is running now as well ...

Jay fixes the cone and around mid-pack, Jess fixes the cone and into 3rd (2 trophies/6), and Ambrose is slower on the 2nd run but still in the 4th trophy place (6 trophies).

[Reijo]

Scott Fraser is leading the way in SS in Bruce's 2014 GT3 (used to run Bruce's original '66 Cobra in the CAMS class before - note that Bruce is also the ORIGINAL owner of that Cobra!).  Scott of course was running CSP many moons ago with Tom Kubo out of San Francisco and won CSP 3 or 4 times ... and in fact was in CSP when I was there also.

[Reijo]

Erik Strelnicks of Texas spun his FP Boxster in a strange place ... maybe lost a wheel and the course is shut down right now.  He is in 3rd sitting behind his co-driver, Troy Acosta and Dave Montgomery (72 914 Porsche).  Dave ran a ringer time on his first run so he has everyone where he wants them right now after that 1st run.

[Reijo]

Alan Rae in his Caterham in D-Mod will be in the other grid (there are two grids per course - A and B) also on the same course but in the 2nd heat ... so coming up shortly.

[Reijo]

Strelnicks apparently just lost a wheel air valve stem and the tire deflated.  Strange one.  haha  So he'll be back.

Apparently an early cone jumped up and grabbed the valve stem!  Killer cones!

[Reijo]

Ugh ... Ambrose went slower on his 3rd run!  So slower on each run.  Again showing the importance of getting a good 1st run!  But he is in 4th - correction 5th.  I saw some of that yesterday/day before ... maybe tires were getting too hot?  Or maybe that west course is easy to overdrive?  Dunno ... something strange going on there.
