It was wonderful to see the ETR team working together this year at Dixie (and that's NOT unusual) . I've been around other regions at national events and there's not even 10% of the cooperation and support of ETR. (ahem, won't say WHO i am speaking of, but some regions are cliquish)..

Anyway, my driving performance was disappointing, though I did improve in Day 2. Let's roll out the excuses. 1) first time AWD, 2) first time boosted, 3) first time on Rivals 4) still developing as a driver even though i'm an old man.

I didn't get skirted, but it was close in STU. I'll do better next time to uphold the high finishing position of ETR. You guys ARE the best region in the country, i KNOW it, because I've watched the other ones, (I watch closely), and clearly ETR has the best people.

Thanks for letting me join ya'll and i look forward to Bowling Green in may..

Well I got my but kicked, which is what I expected but had a great time and sure learned a bunch. I'm hooked. Thanks everyone for making me feel welcome out on the road. Here's my last run

Jim,
Don't get discouraged. I finished dead last by close to 20 seconds at my first National tour just 4 years ago up at Toledo. While nowhere near a good driver yet...I feel I am making progress and going to the big events for sure does help.

Thanks Eric. I think having such strong local competition really helped. And your right going to the big races will help even more

Great run Jim, seemed like a fast course. What were they doing to your car during the second half of the video?

Only thing I have to add is that it just wasn't the same without Rich Miller reserving our paddock spots

Yep, definitely missed Rich being there.

That's a cool angle on the camera and the run looked like a lot of fun.

For those that don't know, that class has to make a minimum weight and they were weighing the car after the run.

Same question for me what were they doing after the run.... which was fun to watch....when you drove up on the plates....cars weight I'm guessing? ....Thanks Mark for the answer.

When I rolled into tech they asked me what my minimum weight was... I said what minimum weight?

We had to get weighed after the last run each day. Fortunately I was over minimum.

About 350 lbs over
