    Car ran very well at the test day but I am pretty sure it threw a rod in the late morning while doing on-track instruction on the first day of the school.

    No Hankook test as the tires are not available yet. Did try the Hoosier as the Goodyears are not available anymore...thought they were very fast. Times were very competitive for a track with a few wet spots in critical areas.

    Going to run our 1.8l SM in ITA with the Hooisers and have some fun. Realistically, keeping up with the top guys won't be possible.

    So when I told Jeff he was a putz for making up that quote, he says he put a smiley in his post...he did!

    Karma got him for making that stuff up with a hood that flew up and busted up his windshield on his first hot lap...maybe a few more episodes of 'My Name is Earl' are in order...

    Congrats to Joe for P1 in qual and Tim Rodgers in the Egg for P2.

    Thumbs up

    As Andy mentioned, I believe I've found a solution to the inconspicuous flag station 2.
    I did a little exploring on Saturday and discovered an ideal relocation for the "I never noticed the flag" flagging station 2 which presently is located in turn 2, dirver's left.
    The new location will be to the other side of the track, driver's right, behind the catch fence, oposite of the present location. The fence at that point has an opening for photographers and an exellent view of the chican and all the way to station 3.
    I plan on using the new location for all future events, both NASCAR 1 & 2 and the chicane. It's going to be nearly impossible to miss the flag station comming out of the chicane since it's directly ahead of the drivers as they exit the chicane and very visible from the oval since the flags will be sticking out through the fence.
    Therefore, with this new and very visible relocation, we will have at least one double weekend using the south chicane.
