Lloyd Read Widens Lead in SCCA Formula Car Championship

Maaco-sponsored Lloyd Read expanded his lead in the SFR Formula Championship by placing 2nd in Round 5 and 2nd again in Round 6 of the series. That puts Read 4 points ahead of Jerry Kroll and 8 points in front of John Yeatman in the run for the championship.

Read said, "Laguna Seca this weekend went well. I qualified 2nd in the first race and was leading into turn 2 but then got passed in turn 4. I was then battling for 2nd when I had a gearbox issue and another car got around me. So I knuckled down and re-passed him 2 laps later and drove on to the end of the race."

"The second race I qualified 2nd again but was only .01 off the pole time! So close! The race started and I was 2nd for 5 laps until we had a safety car. On the restart we changed positions 3 times in one straightaway dogging around slower cars. I was now forth coming out of turn 2 and was pissed. So I made a move into turn 3 and took 3rd back. Then 1 lap later I pressured the guy in 2nd into making a mistake and he spun in turn 10. I drove to the checkered flag in 2nd."

"Next race for me is Portland , Oregon in 2 weeks in the Formula Car Challenge."

Great racing, Lloyd. Good luck in Portland.

Le Mans June 11-12, 2011

Live Le Mans coverage in USA:  SpeedTV.com

It's okay that LeMans runs at the same time as our Formula Car Challenge race at Sears Point this weekend. LeMans is a 24 hour race so only insane people watch it from start to finish.

. . . Okay, we admit that we dream of being trackside, in Le Mans, France. . . from start to finish. . . in the rain. . . oh, and we'd like to go there on the Concorde or the Queen Mary (why stop the insanity at just watching the race?)

Queen Elizabeth 2, Concorde, Red Arrows 

For kindred spirits, here's a little Le Mans trivia from the boys at Top Gear: Le Mans 2011: how it works - BBC Top Gear

2001 MITSUBISHI GALANT COMPLETE PAINT

Maaco Fremont's car of the day is a 2001 Mitsubishi Galant.
This is a commuter car the owner got tired of all new cars driving past him with there shinny paint. He didn't want to spend money on a new car, the Galant gets good gas mileage so why trade it in.
 His wife saw the Maaco ad and  said why don't we go to Maaco to get the car painted instead of getting a new car. They came to Maaco Fremont to get a estimate. We went over the car with them to make sure we didn't miss anything, I gave them a price that made them happy. Here's the the car now.
Please comment and let me know what you think.
