Prior to Lotus, all I ever raced was various formula cars, all very much spec racing, often with sealed engines. I agree that spec racing often leads to more competitive racing and hope to see that take off within LCS.
BTW ... any incidents that weekend within that SCCA run group?
I seemed to have bad luck in SCCA with my Pro Formula Mazda - kept getting crashed into a lot, even behind the pace car!!
Some rumors of getting Lotus in Koni Challenge. That would be a great series for the Lotus. Speed World Challenge isn't a good fit for the Lotus in my opinion - competition has too much HP and too much factory money.

Hi Tom, Thanks for the notes. The race was really clean... first turn I found myself dicing with huge vipers, panoz' mustangs, etc... everyone was aggressive but aware of others. I worked hard to position my car on the inside of fights for corners as I knew the big guys will go wide and my light car could sneak in and hold the inside line more predictably. The 25 plus cars behind me seemed to do well too. No waving yellows either race. The run groups with FM, DSR, CSR had a bit more drama. And of course SM had plenty of craziness. Looked fun!
See you at Laguna in a few weeks!
