LAKEVILLE, CT — July 7, 2007 “We were fastest during the Tuesday test, qualified second fastest yesterday, and were quickest in the warm-up this morning. We had the measure of the leaders all day,” noted Chris Dyson. Even with two drive-through penalties, the #20 Porsche Spyder finished fourth today in the Northeast Grand Prix at Lime Rock. “We still do not understand the penalties. I was black flagged for being out of alignment at thegreen, but that was not applied until 25 laps after the start. The pole car went hard at the green, and I maintained my position. The starting procedures seem to contradict what we drivers and fans expect at the start of a motor race, which is to go racing. Later, Guy Smith was penalized in his stint for ‘avoidable contact’ but they nailed the wrong party on that one. At Lime Rock, where the real estate is so precious, you have to fight tooth and nail for every square inch. We are all out there driving as hard as we can and to have that negated by unpredictable penalties was very unfortunate.” Be first to comment this article |  Add as favourites (108) |  Quote this article on your site | Views: 906
