For those who missed it, Alex Doman is running in the Skip Barber National series. At the first race of the season, he posted some very fine results at Laguna Seca. They run a dual race format and he scored a 4th and a 5th. He is currently sitting 4th in the points. Great job Alex
Adrian Carrio is running in the Star Mazda this weekend at Sebring. In the last practice session he ran 6th, well under the current track record. In previous sessions he has been consistantly in the top 5 and in one session he was first! I talked to Adrian this past weekend. He told us he was going to run in the front this year and I guess he was right! He qualifies this morning. Go Adrian!
Adrian ended up in 7th in qualifying. The race for all the marbles is tomorrow. The race will be on SpeedTV, April 9th at 4:00pm eastern.
Adrian called Greg yesterday to tell us what happened in qualifying. They broke the drivers into two groups. Adrian was in the second group. As you may know, at these events, they run strictly on the clock. In group one near the end of their session, there was a red flag. That meant that the second group lost the first 10 minutes of their session.
Adrian got in only two laps before another kid stuffed it in the wall and they lost another 10 minutes. Unlike our go karts, these cars need several laps to warm up tires and such. While they kept the tire warmers on during the wait, the car was not up to temp when they released them and Adrian only got in another two laps before the session was called. Still, he was the fastest in his group. He knows there is much more in the car than it showed in qualifying and he is confident that he will move past several of the guys in front of him. As Adrian told Greg, this will just make the race more interesting!
