Here are my entertaining videos from the weekend for me...
Race # 1 I was grided third overall and then completly messed up shifting into turn 1. This was a bad and dumb mistake as I went into the wrong gear and lost the rearend. I got lucky and saved it... some how! I wish I knew how to upload in higher quality video that isn't 480 but I can't find any editing software that will do it. The small video (PIP) is from Tim Dugans view. In the HD version you can see me sliding all over the place!

Race #2 wasn't as eventfull. I had an awesome start passing at least a row of cars before turn 1. (boy do radios come in handy) I then stayed with Glen Lawton and the third place battle for ITR (Doc and Maynard took off) I was able to stay with them until I started to suffer fuel starvation issues on lap 5. These first few laps made me feel like this car really does have potential in the class. especially with a set of tires that have less than 10 heat cycles and didn't sit in the snowbank last year! I need to figure out 3 with a rear wheel drive car as I am losing over a second in that one turn!

Race # 3 started bad and ended worse! The car went into "limp mode" on the start for some reason which is still not known. I pulled down to the apron as everyone passed. I then tried to limp back to pitlane but wasn't fast enough to get back before the field was catching back up. I decided I was a major hazard on track so I pulled off and parked so that I could rejoin and head back to pit lane after everyone passed. Well that didn't really happen and instead I got a nice ambulance ride and someone else took my car back for me

At least I still have a fan club that doesn't seem to care that I didn't finish!
