Yesterday my co-driver Mark ran at MAM...he finished 51st so we got bumped down again.

Today I ran at Miller Motorsports in Utah...I did pretty good - finished 21st in one race and 18th on another. I am beating professional drivers in totally new courses to me and in a car that is not mine...THAT feels good.

What doesn't feel good is the )&#*P@%# ticket I got today....yikes!

Pics and video posted....

Best of luck to you at Hallett tomorrow, Angel. I wish I didn't have to work all day.

exactly. If he would have evidence of that, rather than his personal assessment of speed, I would have gone to jail...he was just being a dick...but he still wrote the ticket...

It is called "overdriving" the car. The "mosquito" team put the Z06 against the wall. They were 5th overall until this happen in Hallet. That dropped them to 16th overall. I am in 22nd overall now...

Sounds like your doing really good, keep it up. As for the ticket I don't see how he can just pick out a magic number. Did you ask to see the radar? If he can't prove how fast you were going by measuring speed with landmarks, mile markers, or radar, I think you should be off of the hook.
