The German kid won today. It's a good field, the cars are awesome! Joey Hand is racing. But, I'm still picking Billy Johnson for the championship over Matt Jaskoll and Alan Scuito third.

This series is the future. No more political nonsense with racing school series' catering only to 'named' drivers. This series is a question of driver and team. The best guys win, no matter what your last name is..... :thumbup:

I was at the race...Jaskol dominated the race, then had a "problem" behind the pace car during a caution period, lost his front wing...and that was it. Prior to the incident, he had nearly the entire front straight on the field.

Car is very cool...they ran 52s! at Lime Rock which isn't too shabby for only 140hp. From what I hear, tires were awesome, especially given the car's light weight.

Field was very "diverse" is terms of pace (talent?). Jaskol and a handful of others were running low 50s...others got lapped within 10 laps!

A neat series for sure...it will be interesting to see where on the "ladder" it will rank...
