[DeTomaso] Fwd: SVRA 2022 TransAm Speedfest : Group 6 12 Feature Race 1

[Steve Lisa]

Regardless, there are plenty of people to race with mid pack and SVRA puts
on a great event.  There are some beautiful cars in Group 6, and it's
pretty aggressive racing.  So all is good....just won't contend in a big
fields.

   Attached Saturday race results.
   I started in the middle of the Group 6 pack, and dropped the left rear
   in
   the dirt going two wide trying to pass on the outside of turn 4, spun,
   then
   got nicked in the right front.A  The car was mechanically fine, so I
   continued and went from last to 21st. I hope to make up a few more
   positions in the feature race tomorrow, but frankly the front half of
   this
   field is out of touch for a Group 3 car.A  We need some Group 4-5
   company!!!!!!
   I will be reaching out for a list of nose piece sources after we get
   home....wrinkled nose, deck lid, fender, light cover.A  Mechanically
   fine
   and running well.
   We made it 14 race weekends before contact....i am sure it won't be the
   last.A  We will use the opportunity to clean up some of the front
   cosmetics
   (lower valence, etc.).
   Will keep you all posted after the race tomorrow.
