People were amazed to see me, two races in a row Everything was smooth sailing, we definitely have our Wisconsin routine chops in order. Saturday, got bumped out by .005 mov in the 2nd round....could have used a Sneaky Pete.. Sunday, made it to the semi's in the Gambler's. Worst light of the weekend (.021), plus worst 60' = I lose. Funny thing, the guy who beat me that round, is 10 years older than me. 62 in the spectator lane, 72 in the tower lane! I don't think that's very common. Last winter, I started studying some sports psychology, acepting that I have fear of success syndrome. I started breaking down the racing process, into external, internal, wide and narrow focus. I have never been on the tree and the stripe, as well as I was these two 2015 outings. .005 to .021, in 10 hits. It definitely has helped. I encourage others to give it a shot. Next year should be a blast. I hope to travel to TBoomer land, and maybe, make 1 Mopar specific event. Thanks for reading!

Thanks everybody, for the kind words. Ted, it was 10.45-50's. That's all the irrigation motor has in her. I have a fuel system issue, as it should have been in the 10.20-30 range, given the corrected air density. I solved the wheelstand issue, with Afco's on all 4 corners. Again, thanks all!

It was good to meet you Leigh. I made the semis in King at previous outing, and won the last chance eliminator last weekend. Can't wait to see what the track looks like next year.
