I am not sure I will make it in tonight so the proxy may have to wait until the next time. The news here is that the weather will not get above freezing today.

Topic: Second Saturday Series - December (5 replies, posted in NASTE)
A big thanks to Al for getting the Second Saturday Series off to a great start. The cars were great fun and easy for everyone to handle. The food was top notch. I especially liked the Mex-flavored dish. And the chocolates are always a treat. I almost went for one of the Turkey's but saved myself for chocolate balls instead. Choices...

December brought us cold weather and a little beat of the hot, track side. With Thanksgiving just past Victoria whipped up a large pot of Turkey soup that seemed to be just the ticket.

Yes, that's what they do. It's always a problem. The lesson is to never bid early more than once.

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.

Re: November 06 1st Sunday (6 replies, posted in Penguin Point Raceway)
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.
