Beaver Run Motorsports Park


Today was our last track day, after this it's down to the dry skid pad event in South Bend. Beaver Run is a 1.3 mile road course with some neat elevation changes in western Pennsylvania near Beaver Falls. Scott ran in the morning and was able to post a very good 9th place finish. While we were having lunch I felt a couple rain drops and was afraid I would get another wet run in the afternoon. Just a few drops and those rain clouds moved on and a little sun poked out and the rain held off. I went out and was able to get a 16th place finish, not quite what I was looking for but respectable. Now again pack up quickly and head off to a 6 hour run to South Bend, Indiana.
The picture above is the number 2 Nissan GT R which had engine problems and was unable to continue. The last event shows 10 vehicles that din't get points on that event which is a good indicator that they have had problems and were broke at least for the day or maybe even out of the event.


After the Dry Skid Pad event there will be an awards banquet and we will be on our way home. It might take a couple days to get a final update posted but keep checking back.
