First off Congrats to Sandy for pulling off the win. Well done. Second. No excuses just a big apology to Rick for the squeeze going into the back straight. The mirrors did the same thing to me in the first race with the nissan and I thought I had them adjusted down enough to see along side, but when you got right behind me I lost you and didn't know which side you were on. Guessing you would take the inside line for the next corner I moved over and found you. Hopefully it didn't mess up your car too much.
Well I have to be happy that the Toyota is no longer the pig of the cars. Although I didn't get the Q I wanted, the car was good and I started making my way up the field until my fiasco with Rick. From there it was get what I could out of it. But then the Gods said, you were a dumbass for not having your mirrors right and I lost my controller going on to the back straight. Heading straight into the wall and spinning around and around until I could reset it. Car was toast after that. New Computer here I come.

Good driving Sandy. Thought I had it going on up to that late race spin. Knocked the tail off had to pit and they only fixed the wing. Had to drive the last 15 laps holding 2 inches of right wheel. Fun racing though.

Had a blast at this one. Great job getting another pole Scott L, and congrats to Bob on his Lites victory. Scott R and I were in a close battle until he had his spin late in the race. It was a shame to see that Scott. I think you were a hair faster than me, but I was able to stay with you after you got by so this one might have gone down to the wire.
Portland is a fun track to drive. Very unforgiving though where the slightest mistake could be disastrous. My near disaster came when I got too much rumble strip entering turn 2. All of a sudden the car was on 2 wheels and super close to flipping over. Not quite sure how I didn't to be honest.
Traffic was awesome as usual. Thanks for the courtesy everyone, I love racing with you guys! See you at Sears Point.

Portland turned out to be quite a challenge. I was fortunate to have a good setup and a lot of my class competitors had troubles. Congrats to Sandy. I hope I got out his and Scott's way when they lapped me. Seemed quite often. I had some great battles with Charley, Rick, and Woloshan ? And with my team mate Tony, who was not at his usual best. It was nice to be able to be fast enough to actually race someone as opposed to cruising around in last place. Too bad Scott had fuel troubles. I'm sure he was a lock on fifth place. Hope that my luck will continue.

Sorry Sheldon that should have read " Woloshyn". Should have known that because every time I turned around that name would appear either ahead of me or closing fast.

Well my race went as I expected, slow on the straight and faster in the twists. Ced, np bud that was some good racing I did not know if you saw me slide in side there. Bob was quick, and once it all got sorted out I tried to stay out of the way as I know he was battling for position, and his car along with others were rockets on the straight, but a little slower in the corners. Congrats to Sandy for the Win. Cya all at Sears Point.
