2009 Toledo Pro

I meant to start this thread last night after talking to Ruggles...

Congrats to Harvey for a well deserved win in Toledo! Per Ruggles the finishing order was as follows:

1. Harvey
2. Carter
3. Travis H.
4. Rogers
5. Ruggles
6. Fossum

Still no results on the scca website, but now there's this note:

Due to Technical difficulities finals results will be posted no later than Friday 7/31/09

Many congrats to Chris for an excellent display of racing under pressure and getting the JOB DONE. After Carter pulled into the lead in the first group Sunday morning Chris went out and reeled of four 27 second runs each one faster until he pulled into the lead on the last one.
The Pro Finale should be a BS dogfight...after seven events we have had seven different BS winners.
Also congrats to the SCCA crew for running a great event (not too many timing problems) and Sam Strano for designing a great great course.

Jim -

Thanks for the kind words, I have choked more times than I care to remember in that situation. It felt great to finally come through on the last run against such great competition. I thought Carter's right side 27.4 was untouchable before I went out and I would have to do something really special on the left to catch him. My knees and hands were still shaking 15 minutes after the runs !

John and I had a blast all weekend, it was great to see the B-stock crew again along with meeting several new people. The Finale should be a blast, hopefully mother nature is a little nicer to us this year !

I was parked next to (2) 8's over in paddock. One was an '09 Sparkiling Black Mica, and the other was a Velocity Red. I spoke to the guy with the '09 a few times here and there. Are either of you on here?

I wasn't running this weekend as I was helping the girlfirend out with her 1st pro-solo. (69 FSP L2). I really wish I would have run, but making sure her first pro went off without a hitch was more important. (and it worked too, she came in 4th in L2 and trophied her first pro-solo!)

I meant to get out and talk to a few of the 8 guys, but we were plagued with problems all weekend with the car. I did manage to catch a few of the runs though. Congrats guys.

The V.R. was mine (89/189) and the 09' was Tim Reinhardt's car. We noticed the wrench-fest going on next door ..... glad it wasn't us

The links work for me now. The scca site has been going down repeatedly over the last few days.
