Almost everyone including the journalists at the race loved it. I guess the double file restarts really got some excitement back into road course racing.

Riverside which used to be in S Cal was part road course and was always fun racing. Of course they needed another shopping center there and tore it down which was a huge mistake.

It was going to be such a good finish for Jr - and then someone else makes a dumb move and we all felt like someone stuck a pin in us and we all deflated.

AND, lookie what the spotters up on the hill had to put up with!!

What is that? I don’t see rattles....”red on black, get back”? It looks evil and I think I see a white question mark on its head with a black cross on the snout.

My brother in law from next door brought over a scorpion he found in his back yard on Saturday. My wife stepped on one with her sandals a few years ago when she was going out the back door. Crunched it good!

I hope someone will identify that snake as I don't recognize it. I guess it could be a escaped pet but the fact that Sears Point is only 250 miles south of me is very unpleasant! I think the Rattlesnake is the only poisonous snake in Calif?

It was a shame that Jr got Dive Bombed along with a few others near the end. That Dodge of KK had the perfect gear combination for restarts. Shades of Ray Everham...

After a bit of photo research I’m starting to suspect it’s a falsifca plastica.

A certain kind of Milk Snake in California has more pronounced red & black splotches but the bluish color and head don’t match well. A juvenile snake?

Never seen one on a plane...
