Good luck to Anthony this weekend in Savannah - racing his new FV!

My good friends Art and Ruth invited me to go along with them to Savannah this weekend to crew at the races. I had never been to races like these before - and it was a blast! Anthony was kind enough to let me help him with some of the more minor tasks in prepping his new Vee for qualifying and racing on both days - the Vee was the only car out there that I could look at the engine and know what I was looking at! I'm sure Anthony will jump on here and tell more about the race itself but I can tell you that watching the field of Formula Vees come careening around and through the curves at high speeds was just too-o-o cool!
As for the weather -- it rained some Saturday and by the time the Vees took the track it had slacked off quite a bit but the track was still wet. Sunday was a different matter. The officials shortened all the races from 15 laps to 10 and all six groups were done racing before any rain hit. Most of us were on the road home by the time it started raining.
If you've never been to a SCCA racing event I highly urge you to go to one. Road Atlanta is in a couple of weeks.
I also met a lot of Anthony's compadres in the local Chattanooga Region SCCA club and they reminded me of the Volksfolks as a group - very warm and friendly and eager to talk about their hobby for as long as you'll listen.
