gira Posted November 11, 2013 Share #13 Posted November 11, 2013 Yes - it is Official.Seems that Matt was pushed down to 4th Place - Perhaps the Officials felt that using the Pit Maneuver on the track was just a little too aggressive the second or third time. It wasn't just Greg being "bumped" out of the way that could account for such a penalty being deducted could it?Pretty stearn treatment given Madza is the Series Sponsor... Hats off to the SCCA Officals - Carl B.Carl, you are exactly right! The threat of Mazda's pull was looming over us the whole time. In fact, do you know what Matt Reynolds stood to lose for that Bump and Run? He lost Chicago Region's Triple Crown, SCCA's Super Sweep, AND Mazda invitation to drive their cars for the next year, supposedly worth about 50k. See why we were nervous?

preith Posted November 26, 2013 Share #20 Posted November 26, 2013 (edited) OK, I posted some in car on YouTube. Search for this: 2013 Runoffs Z Car- E Production Let me know if it's any good. See you, Greg Greg, thanks for chiming in here and thanks so much for posting the vid: Jim Daniels also posted one of the better vids from the same race, lots of w2w time with you: One thing I found surprising was how much more aggressive Aaron appeared on Jim's vid vs the speedcast broadcast.

preith Posted November 27, 2013 Share #22 Posted November 27, 2013 Here is some good video here. Interesting history on Don's car too, when the SCCA first classed the 240/260 in EP ('98?), Sportscar (SCCA's publication) featured the construction of that car. Was quite exciting to finally see a new tub build which wasn't an IT car, no offense to the IT guys out there.

gira Posted February 20, 2014 Share #23 Posted February 20, 2014 Phillip,Yes, the aggression is all about perspective. You'll see different comments from different people based on who posted the clip. All the top drivers use similar moves in traffic. Look at Jesse Prathers in car of the start. It's incredible and one Mazda guy posted a comment on his video that I hit Matt Reynolds twice at the start. I commented back as to exactly what happened and the guy has since taken his post down. Anyway, Aaron is a good aggressive driver. His car suffers from handling issues just like we do. Well, compared to the Miata.
