Barber results?

Does anyone have news from the racing at Barber this weekend?

[Todd Covini]

Adam established the CMC track record.
Burch, Ginsberg, MacNeil 1-2-3 in yesterday's race.
Our CMC guys were apparently posting times faster than most of their AI cars.

Unfortunately, no other local CMC cars showed up @ Barber....just JB, JM and myself.

There were 9 AI cars, and 3 AIX cars. The AIX cars weren't full blown AIX machines.....Ed McGuire's car was really an AI car with just over CMC power ( 255hp/~280-ish tq ).

In Saturday's race, JB and I were faster than ALL the AIX cars, and all but one of the AI cars ( William Brownie in an S197 car )...by several seconds.

Outstanding facility. Very impressive. We didn't get a chance to see the museum.

Huge, mega, massive thanks to Boudy/Argent Labs for his continued support, and to Richard Pedersen for being my crew chief for the weekend. Couldn't have done it without either of them.

And...to JB for Saturday's race. We were nose to tail damn near the entire 40min race. Good stuff.

Great job, Adam ... especially when you are handicapped so badly by the platform you drive. Excellent driving skills balancing on a knife edge at 2Gs. I'm thoroughly impressed.

Dammit - can we not shit up this thread like so many others? Let's just chat about the Barber event without turning into a Jerry Springer show again. :roll:

The 1 hour enduro was a blast. Lot's of traffic, both faster and slower. Not a single full course caution, no major contact ( save for JB's armco brush ), and two mechanical DNF's. 39 passes for position. Whoohoo! I'd do another enduro like that in a heartbeat, mild weather permitting.

It appears we've started an inter-regional gig....the SE AI drivers are talking about coming to a TX event in 2008. However, we'd better step up the TX banquet and event fun quotient....the SE knows how to put on an event like no other region I've raced at. These guys know how to have fun.

Adam ... while there was sarcasm involved, my heartfelt congrats were serious. Sounds like you did well.

Thanks Mitch. I knew your congrats were serious. Let's keep it on the high-road.
