I ran the IT Fest in Mid Ohio this year. The IT Fest is the mid year big Improved Touring race. Its a little more centrally located then the ARRC so its a little easier for the NE and the MidWest guys to make it here, rather then Road Atlanta. With the best of the best in Improved Touring, coupled with the fact that I’ve never driven at Mid Ohio, I knew it wasn’t going to be an easy weekend. The ITFest is a 3 race weekend, with a qualifying session Saturday morning, and then a Saturday afternoon race, Sunday morning race, and a Sunday afternoon “feature” race.
I tested well, qualified ok, and ran pretty decent. I improved every session out, and finally got the hang of Mid Ohio, but I didn’t have enough to really “get it done”. Ended up finishing 5th in the 3 races, and 5th overall. The Sunday feature race though, was the most fun I’ve had in a race car so far. It was an absolute barn burner, and a battle for 40 minutes with two cars and great drivers from the Northeast. I learned a lot of racecraft and a lot about Mid Ohio during this race as well. I can’t wait to do it again next year.
Here are two videos of the Sunday Feature race. I tried to edit the footage down by removing all the times where I wasn’t passing someone or being passed, and it was still 20 minutes of video
