Well it ended up being sunny for all the run groups today. Dennis Hale designed a great course and everyone had fun. Not sure who won, but probably the A Mod guy with the big wings. I was the tire warmer for Greg McNair, with his black buggy and fast engine. Tough shoehorning a bigger guy, like me, into that machine, but I actually made it around the course and warmed his tires. The buggies are crazy fast, but with the bias weight issue they have a hard time turning. I managed, at the wrong time, to hit the throttle, go straight and totally miss the back corner, then went off course into official NAVY territory and totally embarrassed myself. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) But the course was great. Wish I had 222 out there. Can't wait till I get some new tires and get back out in my machine. |

Thing that amazes me is that I felt very slow in the Z. Then I was watching you guys in Mod class cars in group 4 flying around making slower or equal times. I must have been going fast in the Z but it sure didnt feel like it! I felt like I was crawling. Especially in the tight stuff. My car barely fit through that one section of tight turns in the interior of the course.
Overall very fun day. I think it was amazing you could even drive the buggy Randal. It was fun seeing you haul butt into that stright where I was working. Those cars are so cramped I cant even drive one! This post has been edited by grantsfo: Sep 19 2011, 11:44 AM |
