I finally figured out how to place well despite my crappy driving; I'm going to buy race tires and move to class C where I'll at least come in 3rd (out of 3)! :lol:

I sure had fun though. Would I have more fun if I drove better? :roll:

I see that I still need to learn the naming convention for the results files. :?

If I really thought that was a big deal, I'd have renamed them myself. ;)

As it was, I just removed "results" from the file name to make it a little shorter. Don't sweat the small stuff.

Congrats to all the class winners, and Howard for FTD.

Kenny, that wreck must have happened right after we passed. You couldn't have been far behind us after the trash fiasco. which reminds me...
Steve, add to the shopping list a box of heavy duty lawn and leaf garbage bags. The one's that are in the trailer are pretty worthless. Poor Bill was left holding nothing but two palm sized pieces of plastic when he tried to carry one.

I'll take care of this between now and the next event Steve..... 1 box of bodybag trash bags coming up.

I'm really sorry I missed this one - ya'll are making it sound great!

Kenny - you da man! Not only for everything you did, but also I was thinking I'd have to enter all the times, and I don't. Sweet.

Bill, go ahead and move out of class G, one fewer S2000 to bother with is fine with me! :lol:

One bullhorn, coming up.

Charles, thanks for picking up the trashbags.

Did anyone notice, for Dan's sake, how much, if any, water and soda were left at the end of the day?

I noticed that when I was eating my 4 slices of delicious fresh hot pizza, I had a genuine cold Pepsi Cola to drink with it. :)

Also noticed several cases of water and soda under my feet as I was writing times on the board in the afternoon... but don't know how much was left.

There was approx. 4 cases of water left over. Also maybe 4 cases of name brand soda and some no-names left over (the no-name root beer is OK I've decided).

When I pulled out of Runway Drive the wreck was apparently already in progress. I saw her sliding towards the pole and slowed down to pull over. I probably wasn't that far behind you all. I was getting everything packed up when you drove by to leave (or go to the dumpsters), and talked on the phone for a little bit before leaving. Probably no more than 5 minutes.
