I figured I'd be fighting for DFL. I didn't figure on being unable to improve. Grr...
It's a long, long course! (1:28 for me!) High speed, quite a bit of 3rd gear. No slaloms, lots of S-turns. And some straights, too! My primary competition in class is one of the local hot-shoes; he is usually 5 seconds off TToD (on these large courses they run!), and was unhappy to be ~8 seconds off it today. He's got more car than I do (headers, tires, wheels; equivalent suspension) and he really knows how to use it. TToD was Steve Nielsony, with a low 1:12! Provasi was 6/100 of a second behind him, with some other "lesser" machinery in 3rd. Cool day, but way too long! I showed up to work the course at 6:45 AM, and got back here at 3:30 after running. Tired. Now we go to Sea World and watch the fireworks. --DD |
