If you where chosen, how long did you have between runs? And was there an age limit to be on the track to watch. Thanks, Jeff

Dave had quite a bit of time between the first rounds. The finals were round robin of course. We had plenty of time to check fuel and get his tires right. We did have everything right there though so we didn't have to leave.

Don't know about the age limit.

I don't know about the age limit but once they start running they keep going when it comes to the 16. The farther you get the less time you have.

from the 1st time trial to 2nd time trial, i think you could pull your motor rebuild it and put it back in, its a long waiting game.

So you did have enough time to cool the motor down except for the finals. I'm talking 10-15 mins.

Make sure you have everything ready to go at the line where they will have you park. It's good to have lots of friends help like spraying the radiator down and putting in fuel while you will be getting interviewed and stuff.
I repeat, make sure you have a water spray bottle and plenty of water for it, it bit me in the semi final round when my truck overheated and bogged on the line.
