Only in racing would I say this.

If it's dry.....I'll be there. If it's wet.....I'll do something else.

Weather is looking great now. Can't wait to run on this lot after the Blytheville Pro courses this will be cake! At over 200' across, this lot is actually bigger than the Philly lot we ran for years up there which was plenty big and safe for 3 cars on course.

First off let me thank everyone for a great event. I think the course turned out better than I thought it would for that being the first time running there in quiet some time. I hope everyone had a good time as we got 7 runs on a very fast course and thanks to Chris Harp for showing me where to put the cones for the course. ...lol

Big thanks to everyone that worked hard to make the event happen. I was a bit rusty, but it was fun for sure. The weather was good and it was great to see everyone.

I really hate that I missed this one, but I had some pre mothers day projects to finish around the house that had to be done (should've already been done). I watched a video of Michaels run on FB and it looked like my kind of course.

Thanks all!

Course was really fun and challenging and drove a lot faster than it walked. I told a lot of people that it was really hard to find time there, then I dropped a chunk on my 7th run. My rev limiter slept well last night. :D

Cool, that explains the odd super light steering :). Thanks for the pic Michael!

JY - Man, good course. A little visually tricky in spots, but I think it was a good local course to help you practice looking ahead and speed maintenance. It looked "clean" which I really liked.

There is some potential in that lot. If BMS would let us run that perhaps cheaper than the big lot, it might be worth considering for 1-2 events per year (in addition to the big lot events)
