PB= personal best

Brain fart! Couldn't, for the life of me, figure it out...

We will keep the light on for you

Not this year, using up a bunch of vacation time this spring on a trip to Europe so have to sit Vegas out.

Too bad Dustin... Thank you Tom Bodett!!!

I have to update the bad along with all the good that went on so early this season.
I made/saved enough money to go to Vegas for the Div. 7 event and the Spring Fling bracket race. I had a tough time converting the car back to the stop but ended up with a trip zip light and an 11.033 on the 11.05 index on my last time trial. The perfect light gave me a 1st rd. bye and I was -.009 (adding .010 to the box)dead 3. I added another .015 to the box which was more in line with what I had used in the box previously and went .020 and won a double breakout with another 11.033 on the brakes. Al and I talked about the weather coming to me and leaving it ALONE. NO adjustments necessary. 3rd rd. I was .013 and 11.040 again on the brakes winning a double breakout. 4th rd. Al and I talked about the setup being perfect and me being one of the two remaining cars that could go 140. I did the burnout and thought about the previous light being a .013. I looked over at the Mega 450 and said to myself "let's try for a .010." So I took .003 out of the box and that's where my lucky streak ended because I was...
You guessed it....003 RED!!! I was soooo MAD at myself.
I just had to touch it! Couldn't trust the process and my good friend. Thanks again Al for leaving the light on and everything you helped with at the track. Sorry I let you down bro.
On to the Fling and the car torched the head gasket between cyls. 4-6 adding insult to injury and now I've missed 3 points races at Sacramento (4 total) where I'm leading the Super Pro points. Don't know when I'll get around to fixing the car as I am still pretty disgusted with myself. Maybe I'll just pull the motor and go through everything and start again next year. It was fun while it lasted though.

THAT is an awesome shot. U need to make a big poster and frame that for your office/shop wall.

Here is a video of the 1st T/T at the divisional. iPhone was shoved up in the full face part of my helmet and kept slipping down. I had the throttle stop all discombobulated so it never really came on...You get a feel for the starting line and burnout at least...

Annette Bauer took that and posted it on Sacramento's Facebook page. She is the wife of Jason, one of the track guys there and they both race. I love how she altered the contrast. Yep. Great shot!

well look at the not so bright side.... "IF" you would have won the super pro championship at Sac, chances are you wouldn't have anywhere to use your "gold card" next year.

From what I hear now, it's a done deal, the land is sold and this will be the last year for Sacramento Raceway Park. Sonoma is the same distance from me and has been my home track since I first started. I think I could still get it done at Sac. At least top 4 for the R.O.C. at the E.T. finals this fall. We'll see when I get motivated to work on this thing. I've been living on the edge with the car for awhile and knew if that I ever had an expensive failure that it would cost me some time away for sure. It's the whole snowball thing. I have a LOT of stuff in mind to get this thing to run better and they all cost money. Maybe it's a good time to take a few years off again.
