Thanks Mark! I'm still on cloud nine after finishing 2nd and 3rd in yesterday's races.

Many thanks to Beau Martin, Bill McGovern and the rest of the crew at Elite Autosport on a great job preping both car and driver.

Also Reed Bartuska, Rick Bartuska, Art Kopp and the rest of the Clueless Racing gang for their advice and friendship.

Thanks Ryan. We were at Blackhawk Farms.

It was a new quad-regional format. Four regional races over two days.

I had two fourth place finishes on Saturday to go with the 2nd and 3rd place finishes on Sunday.

Thanks Rick and Patrick.

With regards to fuel, Elite Autosport fueled my SRF with 98 Octane racing gas. SCCA Enterprises recommends the use of racing gas in the SRF if you can not find a supplier of ethanol-free gasoline. I don't understand the technical reasons, but the presence of ethanol in standard pump gas is believed to be contributing to engine failures.

The "special fuels" are a totally different animal costing $30 a gallon and up.

That's odd, I'm selling it for $25 a gallon. And I guarantee that you will do as well or better than with the fuel you are using now. :whistle:
