Yeah I hope we can get Bradley and Dave Disney and maybe a couple others to make the jump to pro with me next year and get a big pro class. I just got to get a little more weight off of the nose and I think I will have it the way it needs to be. I cracked the top 5 in pax and that was a big gain for me. Looking forward to the next event.

Yes, good job on the course. The percentage of DNF's on the first run was a lot lower than last time. Of course it helped that I had a navigator with me on my first two runs. Now if I can correct the terminal understeer....

I'm pretty sure that not all of that is me. I'm going to Charlotte Saturday and have stiffened the rear bar by one hole and am going to run a lot more pressure in the front tires and monitor the temperature across them. I'm pretty sure they were rolling over too much, as the one reading I took with my IR thermometer had the center of the tire cooler than the inside or the outside edges with the outside hotter than the inside.

DeWitt, I noticed that you were getting tunnel vision in the slalom, which led to a huge push through the next turnaround and into the crossover.

I did the same thing.

Yes. The worst thing is that I knew I was doing it in the early runs and I still did it in my last run.

Here's a video of how not to go fast, or at least not fast enough to win: http://youtu.be/mY2tcwNNXYk

Did anyone happen to pick up a tire gauge with my name on it? It's a black Moroso...probably left it in that island next to the two driver cars in grid.
