Good job Rick! He was trying out a new converter and after a few laps on Saturday got his reaction times down on Sunday. I'll let him tell the rest......

I'm only one person that just gave you a few pointers. We all start somewhere, and I had plenty of help to get me where I am. The driver element needs to be there as well, plus of course a consistent car. You handled those parts, and that's why you took home the check on Sunday. Keep at it and you'll do well this year I'm sure.

The track is excellent. 14 runs on motor or a little spray and no hooking issues with 60 foots between a 1.538 and 1.558 over three days on a set of 3 year old 275/60/15 M/T radials. Took a little time to take in all the changes (like turning right at the end of the track), but the place is great! Wish Dick Moroso was still around, he'd be proud of the facility!
