VHR: Fontana 200

Last race: Good car - bad race
This race: Bad car - good race.

Oh and - Im sorry Tim. Cars braking when green flag comes out and me beeing concentrated on several things.

Very upset about my finals laps because it is the second time that Tom gain me a position with a contact. First in CWTS the second time here. In this fights I tried to race clean because the admins sent to me a mail about my way of race is agressive. I had a contacts with Mark but did´nt make me lost the position or viceversa. This action are good Tom ? Don´t feel so.

Despite that I finished the race.

Congrats to Chris for your race

Thanks Fernando. It was fun there at the end. Nice green flag run we had there I ran pretty hard and got a decent lead. Caution there with 13 to go had me worried a bit, but that restart was very fast and i got out there and just drove it like i stole it. Feels good to finally get one after the hard luck i've had lately.

oh and 1-2 for Melton Motorsports with 7 of top 10, good job guys.

got a crap lap into qual. Race started ok. Ended up with a caution on lap 2 where someone decided to crash and cause a pile up. I had suspension failure with 3 others i believe and I will be watching the replay again and finding out who it was ands then send a complaint to the stewards to decide about.

see you for the next one

Tom sorry for the contact when I was trying to pass the much slower car I never seen you when I pulled up so once again truly sorry.Some people need to learn how to run on track and on pit road not naming names you know who you are,both actions I speak of by the same person and beating the rear bumper off under caution is uncalled for.

Good race Chris.
Okay race for me. I got burned really badly. I pitted midway through the race and the computer decided to give me only 20 laps of fuel instead of 32! I'm still trying to figure that one out. Then a few laps or so later when the green flag came out for a re-start after a caution, the guy in front of me lost it a little and started scrapping the wall--hard! His speed dropped off like there was a toddler trying to cross the speedway in front of him . . . and there was no place for me to go except to the left--or plow into him. Stop and Go penalty. Now that made me a little it angry because my car was getting batter and batter; I actually felt competitve out there and felt that I could easily get a top 10--if I pushed it, maybe a top 5!

I mean after two days of practicing on this track I was getting 39.4xx's. Then in qualfying I get a 39.09--something. And that was just going with 80% tape.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not upset with the driver getting into the wall during the restart . . . Stuff like that is gonna happen. What's upsetting is that the program/computer/game couldn't 'see' what was going on and just threw out the Stop and Go like it was Halloween candy and failed to recognize the complex dynamic of what was happening on the track.

But I guess that's okay too--can't have everything go your way. I have to thank Mark for the set-up. It was stable and fast. I didn't get that "ah, crap!" feeling coming out of turn four. And I must mention that it was fun racing with Bill Brooks toward the end. I think he was in a pack of cars where a couple of those guys were fighting for position amongst themsleves and I had to fight past them to catch Bill. The adrenalin was insane--it felt like I had slammed a six-pack of Red-Bull on each and every one of those final laps!

sorry couldn't make this one or unregister. Damn internet went down for 4 hours this morning. Had several hours of practice for this one, guess I'll have to save the set until the next time we run here(was quite fast).Oh well,%$@t happens. Congrats on your win chris and good job melton motorsports on 1-2 finish.

First of all, congrats to Chris B., Chris M., and Mark. Well done. Even better with 1st and 2nd, and 7 drivers of Melton Teams in top 10.
For me it was a great race, with a nice quali. and a even better one. And my 14th place is a bit a penalty for myself. I have to be more calm when comes green flag, behind safety car. I´ve flatted two front tires in two different occasions because i accelerate the car too fast and i loose rearend. My fault. Great and very loyal fight with Jacob for 14th position (only 3/10s between us, and thanks for the setup during practice). Thanks also for Chris Melton for providing me a great setup, and thanks to Chris Barnes for helping me entering the race. For the podium, for those who finish and for those who didn´t make it, congrats to all.

Good win Chris B.! Congrats on your First, and many more to come. Also Mr. Melton for second..

I had a really good car and was looking forward to battle these top notch drivers for the win in the later stages of the race. It sort of worked out that way, but it was a long road for me to get there.

The first yellow i was told i was ahead of the car i should be following. I wasn't sure why i was being told this when the car in front of me was in yellow and the correct name. The error message went away before we went green, but right after i passed the s/f line i was given a stop and go. :-/ After my penalty i came out behind the pack was just logging laps making safe passes when i could. While following one of the cars they spun in front of me coming out of 2 and i had no where to go.. so i hit the wall giving me front and read damage, along with right-side flats. I went into the pits while they were still closed to get my car fixed up and trying to stay on the lead lap. It all worked out and now i just had to fight my way upfront after receiving the longest line penalty for going in the pits early.

The last few laps where pretty intense.. Fernando sure could get a good run on me and was getting the bottom each lap, it seemed. I kept him down by giving him the 'Peeler Pinch' lol :-) and was able to bring home 3rd. Really happy with where i finish and how i bounced back to earn it.

Good racing guys.. see ya'll Tuesday!
