    Mac did a great job.....I saw that wall jump in front of you! As I went by, I told it "Bad Wall, Bad Wall...don't do that again" !!!! I learned I had the wrong tires on Saturday....and not enough talent on Sunday to catch Renny Bobby. Thanks to all the workers!

    Great seeing and meeting all you guys, and thanks (especially to Ed M) for the tips on the new (to me) track.

    For the masochistic, here's a video of the first couple of laps of the Saturday IT race, to include my 25 second, 390 CW to 100 CCW to 270 CW to 50 CCW to 210 CW (net 720 CW) manuever at the end of lap two.

    Gary, that was one wild ride! Just when you looked like you were done, it was time for another loop!

    Gary, that was impressive. How fast did you go through there the next time?

    Actually, I drove through the "ice" on the next lap at about the same speed, and on about the same line, but with the steering wheel straight and NO acceleration! On the master video, I can see the tach very clearly, allowing me to calculate the speed when the spin started... we were whizzing along at all of 45 mph!

    Damned shame really, as Albin was on wets and ended up significantly slower than us for the last half of the race. Without the spin, I would almost certainly have caught him before the checkers... at least I would have kept him honest!
