PSG Championship Event #2

Six PSG Drivers came to the Fairfield County Sports Car Club Points Event
#5 on June 23rd in Plainfield, CT, and three came away with trophy
finishes in Rookie Stock and E-Street Prepared. One expectation of the
event was totally realized when Phil Mackaronis, the driver of the 1994
Chevrolet Camaro Z28 won ESP 3.4 seconds ahead of the 2nd place car with a
PAX index time of 46.75, taking 2nd place spot in the PSG Championship
event. Matt Gleiner in his STi Limited placed 3rd out of 16 cars in Rookie
stock which earned him a trophy; Matt was ahead of the 4th place car by
over three seconds, showing that he may not be so 'Rookie' after all.

The total shock of the day came when Jeff Guerrera stripped a stud on the rear
right hub of his Camaro SS and was forced to park the car for the day.
Gus Lin showed genuine compassion for his careless and car-less friend by
offering Jeff the opportunity to co-drive his 2006 Evo IX MR. Here is
where the other expectations of the day fell short: Jeff took the A-Stock
Evo IX to 1st place in Rookie stock with a PAX time of 46.2, and pulled
off the 4th fastest PAX time of the day out of 85 cars, earning him the
1st place spot in this PSG Championship event. Jeff had so much fun
driving Gus's car that he is considering moving the Camaro to a more road
race/drag race role and purchasing a pocket-rocket Evo for himself (in Red
of course), though he's determined to have a two-bay garage for the PSG
group and a house before purchasing another car, which according to Jeff
"may be a while.."

Gus Lin placed 2nd in A-Stock out of three cars, and though he didn't earn
a class trophy, he did edge out his A-Stock rival Matt Gleiner by .49
seconds, therefore placing 3rd in this PSG Championship Event.
By lending his Evo to Jeff, he will unfortunately need to replace the wearing Kumho
V710s a little sooner as they saw significant wear during the day. Gus
hopes he can get a couple more events out of his tires before the dreaded
metal cords peep through the rubber.

Mike Miller placed 2nd in A-Street Prepared in his envy inducing Porsche
GT3, and 4th in the PSG rankings. During the day when Mike rolled to the
line, one spectator was seen hushing his friends in order to insure that
the sound waves produced by the GT3's exhaust pipes made it to his ears
undisturbed. The course was less than ideal for the track-bred GT3
however, and used very little of the RPM range where it can easily scream
past the competition; members of PSG are looking forward to seeing the
GT3's true ability at Pocono later this month.

Matt Gleiner is currently working out ECU issues in his STi, which is
cutting power between the 3,000 and 4,000 RPM range. We are all looking
forward to seeing Matt excel even more than he currently is as he
straightens out the bugs in the pearlescent white Subaru. Watch out Gus!

Henry Tran was close behind Matt in the PSG event placing 6th. This was
Henry's first event running real race-rubber; Henry's times were excellent, he just was consistently bumping into cones! He is expected to move to the head of the pack as he learns the newly-found traction his B-Street Prepared Evo was formerly lacking. If Henry's runs were clean, he would have taken either the 2nd or 3rd place spot. Keep at it Henry!
