Two 2nd Places at NHMS

Last weekend, Steve raced a double event at NHMS. He and Kevin took off and had their own race, really. 3rd and 4th were a good 10 seconds behind them at the end of each race. Here they are battling for the win. Kevin took home both checkered flags - so Steve had to "settle" for two 2nd places. =)

The podium both days - Kevin, Steve and Jim Regan, 1st to 3rd.

Re-living the race with the tech steward.

2nd place finish!

Serious pose.

This will be used for blackmail some day.

"Well... you know... if I hadn't spun with 4 laps to go... I might have dive-bombed you on the last lap and taken the win!"

Waiting to be released from impound.

Explaining to his dad - the chief steward for the event - why he spun. (Good thing 3rd place was 10 secs behind him!)

Izzy and Jacob with Kevin's two checkered flags.

Josh - Kevin's oldest, "watching" the race.

If you ever wanted to know how to fit a SRF race car (which is 13 feet long) AND a passenger car together into a 20 foot trailer, this is how! This contraption lifts the nose of the SRF off the ground....


... then you park a Smart Car underneath it.

You should have seen the crowd checking out how this guy fit both cars in the small trailer.
