Chris Foley,
GREAT job at the runoffs, AND for getting your Name & Car ALL over the Speed coverage. They must've mentioned your name almost 1/2 dozen times. My question about the runoffs.... How does one get invited to the Runoffs? Do you 'have to' win a national race, or is it about the points you accumulate during the year? |

Top ten season points within one's division. One of my goals is to win the division. Top 3 get tow fund money for attending the Runoffs.

Chris,
I watched my tape again and tried to keep an eye out for your car. In the program intro, I think your car is sitting behind one of the cars they feature. This is a head on shot, but your distinctive headlight intakes are noticeable. Then in the warm-up lap I spotted your car twice, but a very brief twice. The final lap was the crowning moment. Finally some real screen time! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) By the way, what ever happened with the oil cooler/air intake controversy? Mike |

In the program intro, I think your car is sitting behind one of the cars they feature. The headlight intakes are for the oil cooler. That is the result of the controversy last spring. I actually think I came up with a better system anyway. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) The rules are vague and kind of hard to interpret without finding out the hysterical (historical) reason for each rule. It takes a lot of research to reach the edge of the envelope as far as car prep is concerned, without crossing the line unknowingly. I was on the false grid directly opposite from the top cars, which were featured in the intro. I wondered if they would get my car when they were taping, but I didn't notice the first time I viewed the race. I'll have to check again. |
