Successful 2011 season done with an eye towards the future of 2012 in GTS2.
February turned out to be great weather.
Started with a good qualifying position, now that I knew I had to fight through the field! Ended up with my first pole on the first race of the season. I was ready for my first race, I didn't know of the trouble brewing in the paddock.
I line up on grid, super happy as can be to be on pole. Brian Maeng comes over and leans in the passenger door to "help me get fastened in and do a cursory check over the car. I welcome the company on grid and try to breathe while getting strapped in. 5 minutes is called on grid ---breathe--. Maeng and Scotty hold thumbs up, so I throw them a cheesy smile and a thumbs up right back.....having no idea what they just put on the side of my car. A large, pink cock.

With no idea of the jackassery going on the side of my car, I proceed on the pace lap, and get a decent start to the race. With 2nd/3rd battling it out, I make up lots of time for a huge gap on the field within a lap. (again donnie weymer camera car)

After such a successful race, I was ecstatic about all the thumbs up and waves I was getting from the sidelines on my cool-down lap. I had never seen such excitement from the cornerworkers, but then started to wonder.. I come in through hot pits, and people are pointing and clapping.. okay..something's wrong.. :lol:
I get sent to impound, and am told by JJ (race director), that I am in trouble and Chris will need a word with me. Confused, he pushes me around the side of the car to show me the Pink C*ck. I am in trouble, JJ says my win will be stripped, I start getting a little sweaty and panicked. I then see Chris walking up to me very upset.
He starts waxing on about "your an official, you should know better", and how "this is a family environment", and all I can manage, while sweating in all my race gear after my first win in gts2 is "I didnt know!!!" lol. He then breaks down and laughs and gives a bear hug. I must have been bone white. A good prank, unfortunately at my expense. :twisted:
Sunday, I would win again. First 2 races of 2012 and I win both. Off to a great start!
