 It turns out I lost a shock: GONE. All that's left is the lower eye. No
idea what happened except we had to remount the shock in single shear
because it was binding.

We saw the shock drop off the car on corner one, it looked like a coolant
hose from where I was in the grandstand (black tube).


I finished fifth, turned about a second slower than the group 4 race and two
seconds slower than the qualifying race, but I would have had to pick up two
seconds over my best time (2.222--pretty cool considering Peyote's number is
222) to be in contention for fourth, four seconds to do anything about third
or second and TEN seconds to give Sam any trouble.

What happened to the other TR6 driver that got third place? He didn't  go to
the Victory circle presentation. I took pictures of the four cars that were
there, then when I got a copy of the results noticed that one car was
missing.
