ECK Racing #39 - LRRS Loudon Classic 2013 Report

[The Snowman]

Just the cliffs (except the endurance race), not feeling the need to write a long report.

GTL: 8th of 17 starters, best lap; 1:18.936.

LWSB Endurance: 3rd in class and 7th overall of 12? starters. The best part of the race weekend. I tacked into RSP racing's team, since Billy Cool had an unfortunate break in his ankle. I got out when it started raining and tip-toed on slicks for a few laps, until the ground dried out, then I dropped times and got into the 24's on a borrowed bike. It was a great time with some great people. Thanks to Michael again for allowing us to use his bike, and to Kurtz and Savvas for running great laps. We came back strong after Michael's off on lap 4. We had an awesome pit crew (Brian, Heath, Eric, Mike, and Josh) and they got the left rearset and clutch lever changed out inside of 15 minutes.

LWGP: After the worst start in my expert "career" (I stalled it on the 2nd reg flag restart), 10th of 24 starters, best lap; 1:21.020.

LWSB: Another horrid start, 10th of 18 starters, best lap; 1:20.425.

To sum up: My starts suck. I need to spend time during practice working on them. Once I get there and up to speed, I can do quite well. But I need to start at the front of the pack.

Thanks to Annalisa, my teammates, friends, and sponsors for a decent round. At least I finished my races.

As with last year, Annalisa donned her miniskirt, as did Jackie. Jake got his own hottie. Here are this year's umbrella girl pics:

YOu looked good out there Chuck. Once you get the starts down you'll be a force to be reckoned with !

<3 Chuck. Fun as hell riding in the endurance race with you and being a part of it all. If you ever figure out how to stick a pass in 3 I will be in trouble :-p

I have stuck quite a few passes in T3. Just not at that speed. I had to go in a good 10-15mph faster than usual to get by you. Just need to man-up and throw it into the apex a little harder.
