Mid Ohio Sports Car Course weekend!
Whew, what a weekend
A certain F & C (flagging and communications) worker headed south to Mid Ohio Sports Car Course last Thursday, and I followed Friday morning. The Honda Indy 200, Pirelli World Challenge (by far my favorite racing series) double races, Pro-Mazda doubleheader, and Indy Lights double header. Weather was hot and humid Friday w/a passing shower, however Sat and Sunday were perfect. The infield was really dusty though, so no keeping NSX clean :frown:
I enjoyed meeting fellow NSX owners. Source1 boss man Brian Urlage drove a brand new black Civic Type-R up from Cincinnati, OH.
I met so many nice people, and with all of the Honda employees attending the NSXs got major attention and compliments. I met the owner (wife and son also) of Lindsay Acura (Columbus, OH), and found that he has a 2002 Imola Orange/Orange NSX with ~ 8500 miles on it! Nice people.
Had a paddock pass, so made the trek over there from the infield to briefly visit with Peter Cunningham and wish their drivers Eversley and Kox good fortune. Check out the pic of Honda's racing tour vehicles and their employee hospitality tent in the background.
Alvaro Parente, K-Pax Racing's McLaren car
#9 , won both PWC GT races handily.
On Sunday I watched half of the 90 lap Indy car race and then bolted. Trying to get out of the infield at race's end is a 2-3 hour gig.
