I seriously couldn't put the power down for any stretch of the course except the up hill transition and not even for long then. And I still ran a 55.7. That course, which I loved, made Adesa look smooth.

Yes, I have run at Pelli and it's better than Adesa surface-wise. I couldn't even see straight about 25% of the time at Adesa and still got PAX by almost 1 sec. Planning on running Pelli 3-4 times this year and Adesa again.

I wrote down the times down in the trailer for the first run group.

No one did that for the second group.

Not sure why the display quit working?

It just happens occasionally. The power connector is a little flaky. Power cycling the display (instructions are on the back of it) usually fixes it.

I knew the lot had some bumps, but I think we hit every one Sunday. The previous two events there were not bad at all. I've survived Dover twice so I think I'll be OK. Pelli still doesn't compare to that site, but Sunday's course came close.

Anyway....

Kristo's car was a lot of fun. I turned in too early and got too much brake everywhere, but the car is really good. I want one. I'm pretty happy that regardless of results, I'll be in a fun car at Dixie. I want one....

Also, I rode along with both Isaac and Walker and had a lot of fun. It was one of my favorite ride-alongs in recent history. I kinda wish we had a mini-truck class.

I've been looking at Firestorm FRS pics ever since Sunday. ALSO! The hitch setup I mentioned using both tow hook holes to bolt in - someone made one of those!

Would the Geo qualify for that? :lol:

Well besting Walter was not so good for me,I want to best Walter on a clean run.I had some changes on the car and they seemed to work as far as speed goes.Not from the driver,I crashed 2 runs and feel that if I cleaned them up they would have been good. Too late to fix that.I saw Walter cone out and told the guy at start I just won before I started the last run.I know coning out is what it means but, I do not like to win that way.But as far as rules go a win is a win. Bring it back Goat!!

BobBobBob …. I didn't top your time, even if we took away my cone (and I didn't know I'd hit one that lap, so it didn't affect the way I ran the course) … you just laid down a run I couldn't touch …

PAX times listed in pts. #2 are actually the PAX times from pts. #1
