San Francisco Region decided to try a bold move and have its Major's event contested on two different tracks--the so called 3-mile and 5-mile. For whatever reason, it didn't attract many participants in my class but overall had a decent sized field. We previously had raced on the original version of the 5-mile on opening day a couple of years ago. It was fun to drive on it but many questioned how much passing could take place on the super twisty west section. So for this event, a new iteration was created that eliminated the worst of the single file stretches. In my opinion, this new version is a big improvement and I'm in favor of trying this format again next year.

The car ran great all weekend long and we were the fastest car on track by a bunch. We brought home two poles and two wins and now we have a big lead in the Western Conference as well as the San Francisco Regional Championship. Also, we were able to break our old qualifying record on the 3-mile track by a hundredth...the new record is now 1:36.448. Watch that lap here or on the Race Video page.

On Sunday, my camera failed so no video from the Sunday afternoon feature race on the 5-mile track. We set a blistering pace with a fastest lap of 2:39.983 which now becomes the new track record. Tim Day is coming back for a re-match at the next event at Buttonwillow.

Jason's kids came to the track and some great photos emerged of them enjoying the action.
