Queen of Hearts Double-Double, Feb 5-6

[Matt93SE]

Weather was cold in the morning, but absolutely beautiful after lunch.

Turn out wasn't bad for closed wheel guys, but open wheel was pretty light. There were about 10 cars that raced in each open wheel group

IT/Prod/STU had about 30 cars total, SM had 30 cars. Big bore group had about 15 cars.

I saw a couple more cars in the lot this evening that weren't running this morning, so there should be a few more out there tomorrow.

Overall lap pace was good- the fast EP guys were running low 1:4x. I remember seeing some 1:44s in qual, but don't know if they got any faster during the race.
I was a couple seconds off my fast pace- going to blame it on the new diff being too short and having to run the straights in 5th gear, which is taller than than 4th gear with the old diff. I really wish I'd have held out for a 4.3 instead of going with the 4.6....

Results are in..
I took the results listed on MyLaps.com and combined the regional and national races to see how I did overall. Figured I'd share since it's already done.


Edit.. added class info thanks to Mark.

Thanks for posting Matt ... I think I had one of my most frustrating races ever on Sun after my momentum was broken on lap 1 , I got passed by a couple a cars that then proceeded to hold me up the rest of the race.

Sounds like I need to get up on the wheel

I remember looking in my mirror seeing a big yellow Mustang muscle someone out of the way through Diamond's Edge. I didn't look back after that.

Doc Smith and Octavio are fun to play with. They'll run you hard but clean. some of Doc's cars are fast, others not so much. (He owned all of those pesky Neons, as well as the blue Del Sol that was out this weekend.) Bryan Gregory in the white Neon is hard to pass because he drives a very defensive line, but I can almost always outbrake him Crider in the black Neon is cake.. just follow him for a lap or two and he'll spin and you can drive right by.

the rest of the guys that were around you I don't know..

MyLaps doesn't list car class, so I don't have that information.

The default view does not show class, just click the "show results by class" which is right above the "best speed" column heading.
