Chuck is almost always at the enduros. The 50 Plus team took second in ITS, I believe 2 laps down to us. They cut their fuel real close, sputtered crossing the start/ finish line

They black flagged the race twice, but it was because of lightning reported in the area. The idea being to protect the workers. I can tell you that race control opens up a nice dialog with "sound" when things get hairy. I have not heard this dialog before at the Porsche Club Race...it is probably on a different net...but at SCCA events, "sound" is on the same net as F&C. "Sound" is normally engaged in detecting cars that exceed the noise limits, but he also has some extra stuff (hardware and software, I assume) that permits him to report distances to lightning strikes. When the strikes get within a certain distance, the race is black flagged. I'm not sure what the distances are, but I think it is somewhere in the 2 to 3 mile range.

I didn't know that is was for the lightning. I guess I was not paying attention to the lightning. By the way, it was nice to meet you last weekend Bruce. The workers put on a great event as usual.
