<VV> Jefferson 500 at Summit Point, WV

[Rick Norris]

Cool beans Chucky! Wish I could have been there.
Also saw a few pics of you in the "spin cycle"!
I have a good video of Dan Giannotti doing the same thing in that turn at a
track event.
Glad to see you back on track and hopefully I'll be out there soon.

Dave Edsinger, #18, and I, #73, raced this past weekend at Summit Point
Raceway, Summit Point, WV. The event was the Jefferson 500. Smitty came up
to help, keep us company, act as our trunk monkey.. He drove his recently
repainted wagon from Virginia Beach. He had more attention and received more
compliments than the racers!

Dave and I went out on the Thursday test day with minor issues. He had none
all weekend. I had an overcharging alternator. Ended up running without one
in one race. Dumped over an overflow bottle resulting in a lot of oil to
cleanup in right fender. Otherwise, few issues. We both raced on Friday and
Saturday. I didn't on Sunday while Dave did race. I had a lower cold oil
pressure and was worried about it. I want to check that out.

I recently rebuilt and installed an engine. The heads were done by Tom
Knoblauch and flow very well. Car pulled strongly past 7000 rpm. After
checking it out, I tried to keep it around 6500. Slower, but car ran well. 

Dave Edsinger ran up front doing very well. I was mid-pack and improved
during the event, moving up to tenth in one event.. In our group, car counts
varied between 37 and 20, depending on the event.

We both raced in the IMSA 2.5L  Reunion.   Dave has a Yenko Stinger that
participated in the Marlboro race. The reunion organizers are great guys and
glad to have us racing with them. The Reunion will be part of the Jeff. 500
next year and hopes to do another event with VRG (the folks who put on the
Jeff 500 for Brian Redman and the track). 

A great weekend.
