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

Mike, are you complaining that a winning bid came in 1 second after the auction ended?

Ouch. ;-)

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.
