All The Testing Is Done-Runoffs Start Monday.......................

Instinct Racing completed their second day of testing, and now focus on the first official session, practice on Monday morning.

For the most part the test was uneventful. Colin' ran on Saturday using his #2 spare motor. With the car not having quite the speed as it could with the race motor, Colin was able to pace within a second of the fastest driver of the day. "Our set up is solid. I worked on a few corners, and focused on my driving, and not worry about how fast I was going" Colin explained.

Sunday Laury and Marge ran their test. Laury spent most of the day learning the track, and fighting a bad shock. The last session the car worked well and Laury's time started to drop.

Marge's first session went bad on the last lap, when a loose car spun Marge into the wall in the high speed turn 11. With a bent right rear corner and frame, it was back to the Instinct pit for some major repair.

Led by Scott Shelly, the team work hard for hours to get the car repaired in time for the remaining 2 sessions. Marge went out and sorted the car and herself out, getting set for Monday.

Practice for the Formula Vees is at 11:40 and as all sessions, it can be viewed online at:
