"How has your season gone?

Sorry about the delay in responding, was off the grid for several days, then computer problems, etc.

No racing (at least in any serious manner) since the 2011 season. SCCA in this division screwed over the regional-only classes big time IMO. In my case, they killed 6 of the 8 races nearby (85-175 miles one way tow), opting to hold "Majors" and "Invitationals" instead, which are for National classes only. So, I resigned from the IT Advisory Committee and did not renew my competition license for 2012. I didn't even renew my membership in the club this year. I still have the car, but have serious doubts I'll ever run it again. IIRC, that was my 3rd attempt to be involved with that club on a long term basis. I give up.

I did run a few races in 2012 at Hallett with the local club (COMMA), but they were wreck-fests, so decided I would opt out. I was hit heavily twice in 3 races by the same no-talent driver; clearly his fault (late-brake dive bombing) in both cases, but no penalties issued. My car had to go on the frame puller after the 2nd hit.
