Congrats to Merritt Scott Collins for starting off the season with a bang yesterday; qualified on the pole far in front of the competition... and then proceeded to take the win - if not quite flag-to-flag - in a crazy session that started out with light mist on the grid (with all cars on slicks), proceeding to progressively heavier and heavier rain, in waves, rounding out with even some hail!

She soldiered on through it all to bring home her very first checker!

Ian is headed to VIR so we should get another podium! I won't make it (Mother's Day) and I'm not sure about Hayes. But 924s are starting to rule.
Congrats to Merritt for a rainy victory!

Thanks all! More pics being posted to the PUB Racing Facebook page...

Sunday was also a strong performance, picking up more time and holding a lock on 2nd place. Still a little more pace to find in the dry, but not much - she's within a second of the leader now, and racing will continue to improve!

Not to steal the post, but Hayes will be at VIR this weekend with me and I had an over all ITB win for the weekend back in March at Carolina Motorsport park.

Toofahs are really beginning to pick it back up! Lets keep rocking!!

Well done Merritt!!!!
