Houston National Tour, April 3-5, 2009

[Fair!]

Wow, what an event. Lots of trials and tribulations beset the Vorshlag crew leading up to the event and during. Needless to say it was a doozy! We have more of our write-up from the Tour at this location:

I'll let everyone else discuss the event here. We've got 500+ pictures uploaded and on-car video from the EVO. Can someone throw in a link to the results?

Congrats on the STS win goes to Vorshlag tester Jarrett Jan!


Even with only 3 working tires we had fun in the EVO


Congrats to Vorshlag's Stuart Maxy for his AStock win


Prettiest STU car


Kent and Pranav represented the blue oval in STU well for their first real outing on 275mm Dunlops!


AST equipped Gerry Teranova dominated EStock. Kim Whitener shown driving in ESL


Jason and Paul posted some fast times in the 08 Subaru


Casey Weiss hopped in a Shelby Mustang and flat out embarrassed FStock


The surface at GGP is made up entirely of recycled gambling receipts and seagull droppings

Re: Houston National Tour, April 3-5, 2009

As many of you know Brian and I were both DSQ'd for an Impound violation, leaving early, when we moved our car from Grid A to Grid B for our STU-Ladies driver running in the next heat. It was clearly marked on our registrations, as required, and lots of other people did the same thing all weekend - its normal at even National events when you have back to back run groups for the same car. It was a weenie technicality and its under appeal.

That wasn't even the biggest issue we had. We had other issues with the event and some of the SCCA National Field Staff that were even bigger concerns and we have passed them along. If you have anything to say about the event/staff, either good or bad, please call Nancy Downing at 800-770-2055 or email her at ndowning@scca.com.

I can't wait for our SW Divisional Series to kick off with our own local SCCA folks running the show!

Brian and my DSQ has been quickly and quietly dropped and our times restored.
