RAL Weekend NHIS

[Tkczecheredflag]

I am truly humbled by this experience. Today was good day at the "salt mine", more checks and pledges arrived.
I'm sure more pledges will come in after this note but here is where we landed.
I'm pulling out tomorrow before the mail comes, so here goes.

Pledged $2760.00 money received $2166.00.

BTW: Huge props to Ed Tisdale (above) for his trouncing of ITS at the Regional. His tire choice on a wet but drying track complimented his awesome drive netting him the checkered.

Great job Tizzer!

Thanks guys.
I'm a little sore today but doin' better than the car. Caster is pushed back on the drivers side about a 1/2 inch, so we are hopeful. Think I had a little "red mist" goin' after a "4 off" comin out of T-10. Chris Johnson and Brian Megliola got past me and I think I was peddlin' harder than I should have when I got back to T-3. Those guys drove a great race. Congrats to Jake Guilick on the win, but you gotta love 2nd and 3rd overall for ITC. My crew chief Ken Schielke gave me a heads up waving yellow in T-3, I got on the binders to hard, once I got in the grass it was like being on ice. Seroious brain fade. It was either take out the other cars or hit the jersey barrier, I figured "my bad, eat the wall". I got lucky with the fire afterwards, it was oil on the header, once I turned off the master kill, the accusump shut down and the fire went out. I was ready to pull the switch for the fire bottle, I looked up once more and the fire exhausted itself.
The good news is, money is still coming in for RAL. We are at $3,469.00 pledged. A truly humbling expereince. I found that people were interested in giving to this cause and thought the incentives "Photo Ops", were a little different. I will try this again, or something like it next year.
Not sure that I will make Cheap Date, but I am motivated with a 1:20.04 qualifying time, a personal best for me.
Thanks for all the kind thoughts and concerns.

Thanks Andy.

And thanks to all the congratulations given by all. It is a pleasure to race with such a great group of guys.

It was great to get the first win in the new car. It does like the wet and the suspension set-up and tire choice by my crew chief were perfect.

Congrats to Tiz on his ITS win, and to Team Maloney/Bogart on their killer enduro win. (For those who missed the Saturday enduro, Larry and Brandon in a T2 car beat Nick L and Andy B in Nick's Mazda by roughly 800 feet in the 3-hour race.)
