my observation... since I followed you out. you let off the throttle on your way out, thru the saloms at least 2 maybe 3 times.. and you didnt attack the rough crossover from the top lot into the bottom lot as crazy as you needed to. That was a do it,or screw it section.. those two areas probably cost you a big part of your additional time.

I would have told you yesterday... but you looked busy. (and you were beating me up pretty badly anyway.. :lol:

I should have been there earlier and walked the course few more times. Like you said, it was a National Tour course. Last time I've went this fast was at Blytheville tour.

That's how I felt at Nats. I was way off pace, and it felt fast to me. :cry:

Hey John, I do not believe that after run commentary was very politically correct........ :lol:

From the looks of it, my car would have flipped over, blown up and melted the concrete as it burns an eternal fire toward China...... :roll:









(SSF can go shove itself in a deep dark place...A bunch of E30s proved that this weekend on the Dragon and non one flipped..... :lol2: )

Kristo, I would just chalk it up to a bad day. You're a good driver. I hate that feeling of giving it your all and then falling short. It's a terrible feeling of disappointment, but I learned to get past that, just have fun, and not care about results. Since then, I have had much more fun. I'll be slower than slow with the kart, but driving something that is faster than fast will be fun.
