Guedo must be taking a nap after racing his way into the CSH finals. It was a cool race to watch. All of them piling into turn 1, Kyle Bahl leading down the backstretch and into turn two, pushing out Pater to the weeds leaving a hole for Guedo to dive into. Photo is end of lap one. Kind of a Peeters-Pater sandwich.

Going to watch some Runabout action tomorrow.

Having fun, but the finals begin tomorrow.

Hey People. I was looking at coming down to the Nat's on Friday and leaving Sunday am. I was going to do the hotel thing and now my dad is thinking of coming down with the Motorhome as well.
I was wondering if there is parking in the pits (parking lot behind the pits) for motorhomes and such for the days or for the whole weekend? I know in the area must be pretty full with this many people there, so was just wondering what things looked like. Maybe i would drive a car down as well to have as a commuter between the camp ground and the race site....
Let me know ...
Cheers...

And the locals are saying - It's normally not like this!

We just left the pits, being chased off by a Mid-West thunderstorm - those are nothing like back home!

A few photos:
We've all seen Aaron sleep this way, but here it is again!
Kyle Bahl giving the little fan lessons in boat racing! Only problem was, she accidentally dropped his helmet in the water.
