I usually leave powell at 530 and have plenty of time to make the trip. Maybe I will catch up with you on the way.

It might have been my favorite course all year. 75 second course and I got in the limiter in 4 places. It had a little of everything.

I walked it this morning and was thinking how I need to run courses like this to get better at national events.

Well, John ran a 74.7 and I ran a 75.0 scratch, so he got me by about the same gap in PAX.

Thinking back, I think my car was a bit pushy. I really wasn't making corrections anywhere. I never made any adjustments. For some reason, I have a hard time recognizing that my car is pushy and adjusting.

have you seen overall PAX times?

I was wondering how Randy A. did... Randall Wilcox was blistering on that fast course!!

I haven't. I think Randy brought a spork to a knife fight yesterday.

Does that mean my tire pressures are too low?

Ever since Coatney welded me up, I'm picking up the inside front everywhere. I might need to get on board with everyone else and run my rear shocks stiffer.

Seeing the data on my only clean run (also the run where the car broke) I'm as happy with that 69.7 as I have ever been.

The car normally pulls .8g through 2nd gear.......from just after the launch through the remainder of the run....it was no better than .4. The car was down ~200hp and I was still second in raw time (to a full power run by my codriver) and for the 2nd week in a row......ahead of a shifter cart :)

With the car that hurt and still able to run that time.....I must have driven it really well ;)
