I would agree with that assessment. I looked at the time board and did rudimentary calculations in my head, Dennis was the fifth fastest qualifier. He just got placed with two really fast cars the shoot out.

It was a very long, HOT day but in the end everybody knew who the old guys were.  Congrats Dennis on your excellent performance, you made Team Naste proud. Here's some of the pics I took:

I missed the arse-whoop in'. I had one of my 'Chet style race nights. My GT car was bouncing off stuff everywhere and the old grey ghost ain't what she used to be in classic sports car.

If you were really lucky, you might still have 1/2 a travel trailer to sleep in. Just sayin'...

A BIG THANK YOU to the Nakamura's for hosting today's Trans Am Classic.  Those that participated had a great time trying to catch Bill, who was the class of the field.  Although a small turnout, the racing was close and surprisingly clean.  You all missed out on a fantastic taco feast that left me feeling like a siesta.

Regards,
Rico

Your inner mechanic came through, I fixed the shower handle in our motel room earlier this morning. Glad to hear surgery was a success and you are on the road to recovery.

I just want to take the time to thank Bill for my "Season in the Toilet" trophy. It means a lot to me that you took the time and effort make said trophy and it is proudly displayed in my display cabinet.  It's these kind of things that make the NASTE group so great.

Thanks again

Awesome Job!  I had hoped to make it but we had Gabby's graduation party on Saturday and it didn't seem fair to let Kelly do all the clean up, so I couldn't make it.  In addition, what I thought were allergies all day Saturday ending up being a cold and I was miserable all day Sunday anyway.

A couple of thing to try regarding masking:

1.) Try putting the tape on a hard surface that you don't care about, then use a straight edge and a sharp blade to cut a new edge on the tape.

2.) Apply tape to car body in desired area and then LIGHTLY spray some clear on the area. The clear is supposed to seal the areas that will bleed.

I have used this method with better results than the stock edge of the tape, but I still suck at these types of projects.
