The Whole West Coast Tour ... - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

... for the SWC team of Tiger Racing was a wash. I couldn't be there due to my day job, but watched and called to lend support.

Infineon started 17th and finished 23rd due to attrition on the 4th lap that wasn't our drivers fault.
Portland qualified 13th and got taken out on the first lap. Seems that there was a lot of rough driving that followed throughout that entire race, too. 3 cautions for 11 laps, 4 cars taken out of contention. (1Caddy, 1Porsche & 2 Vettes) Sounded like a short track race at Bristol. The race will be shown on Speed next Sunday, Aug 1, at 1:pm (EDT).

Crew chief and builder, Chris Trapp, and powertrain builder, Tim Coll, feels a little vindicated in that the car didn't finish due to mechanical prep that the team does.

The crew and equipment are headed back home and will be prepared for Mosport, where they will have a double race week-end Aug 7th & 8th.

Hopefully the last event of the season, Laguna Seca, will be better received after some better finishes in the next three events, Mosport, Road America & Road Atlanta.

And how was your week-end?
