Neither were we, and no car problems to report really.  Chris did an excellent job of sorting out the cars prior to the event and keeping them in top shape during.  His fix for a fast braid change was quite clever!  And important too as it was the most frequent cause of problems needing a trip to the pits.  We did get a small penalty - go to the pits and fix it - for missing a wing at some point in the dark.  But there were a few of those, not just us.

One of those moments, well two: watching a driver put his car back on the track after a trip to the pits only to discover the wires were reversed.  Twice.  Same driver.

On the plus side I finally started to feel comfortable on both tracks.  I'm ready for next time.  Let's start sharpening our knives.

Doc, great to see you and glad you had a good time.  The door is always open.  And Bill, I agree.  That's probably my favorites of Vic's soup standards.  Nothing like some Albondigas on a cold day.  Except it wasn't really cold.  In fact we had the garage door open for the balmy November weather.  Now on the track, there's where it got hot.

How about some results.

Thanks to Howie for hosting us again.  I had a wonderful time driving the Bat-Asp around the track.  It seemed to go real well for one of those 50 year old cars.

Wow, we sure look like we're having fun.  I raced next to Julia - Alan's daughter - in every one of my heats.  I found it very interesting.   it was apparent that she really liked side-by-side racing.  Dad taught her well.  It would take 10 laps to catch her and then another 10 to get by her.  And she certainly improved the scenery.

And, good pics gents!

Lots of track time.  Lots of track time.  Hey, wait a minute, this is our hobby!

We had a good time.  Big thanks to Chris for providing some great cars.  It was unfortunate that after he got them set to run they switched tracks on us from a short setup to a longer one.  Bastids...

I left before results were announced but I'm pretty sure we scored a top 6 finish.
