Re: Phil Lombardi wins F2000 race at Watkins Glen

Congratulations Phil, I am very happy for you. You deserve it!

On a side note, the article is extremely entertaining to read. Sounds like the race was a real clusterf***! And the writing style reads like it was written by a high-school intern. I especially like the following paragraph:

At the same time Matt McDonough made what many are calling a bonsai move down the inside, going from fifth to first. McDonough's move is in question currently as the track may have been yellow.

Below is a bonsai. One can only imagine what Matt's move looked like. Maybe he tried to look like a bonsai to escape the detection of the corner marshals as he went from fifth to first under yellow, kinda like Elmer Fudd hunting wabbits. "Nothing going on here, just a little bonsai tree moving to get a better look at the action. Hey, look over there!"

Re: Phil Lombardi wins F2000 race at Watkins Glen

After a few (well, maybe more than a few) frustrating races and less than fully healthy cars, you deserved to show what you can do. I hope there are more results like this one for you.

Re: Phil Lombardi wins F2000 race at Watkins Glen

Congrats, the results became official late last night or this morning I read on another site. Lots of protests had to be sorted out from what it sounded like.

Re: Phil Lombardi wins F2000 race at Watkins Glen

Just wanted to thank everybody for all the kind words of support. It was a wild weekend and it couldn't have been a better time for some luck to go my way. I've won a lot of races and championships, but this win is without a doubt the biggest win in my 25 years of racing. I'm just thrilled!!
