A couple Members took home some bucks this weekend.
I double entered the dart into pro/non electronics for the weekend. Friday I lost first round on one side with a .00 something redlight. The other side I went 5 rounds or so, to the quarters, final 6 cars before I lost to a 7.90 digger. Yes, a 7.90 digger in pro. Got a check for my efforts anyways.
Saturday, I went 3 rounds on both sides of the ladder before the car threw me for a loop, I was in on both sides of the ladder so I had to make 2 passes in 6 minutes, first was way under for a breakout, second the car fell off, strange as it usually picks up being hot lapped. So my day was over after making it to 3rd round on both sides (4th round was the money round).
Sunday, no time runs, dial and go, no clue what to dial as the car ran super fast saturday morning out of no where, so I dial about where it usually runs, but a little too soft. I went .020 to some 10.0 novas .037. Couldn't tighten it up enough, breakout. The other side of the ladder I took out a couple guys including my buddy Dallas in the wheelstanding stocker vette from pinks. Turned on the bottom bulb again though later -.003, the round before the money.
Made some of my money back, had a good time. Lots of good racing, and tight packages. Got to meet Chris Stone finally, and watched him go some rounds. Not too many racers actually considering it was a guaranteed purse, but always a good time.

Same basic story here.. I was on my game pretty much all weekend, cutting lower than .050 lights all weekend, never once red.. It seemed I just couldnt catch a break. Made it to the 3rd round 3 times out of my 6 total opportunities, and had 2 guys go .00x on me to send me home... Just not my weekend. A long, fun weekend at the track for sure, including all kinds of drunken debauchery for entertainment...
