Since when in our TX history has there been 3 different winners in AI in 3 Races for the weekend?! We had some of the best AI racing this weekend it's only going to get better.
Congrats to Team Downunder for the new lap record and their first win on Sunday. Don't get used to it though...I plan on making sure I don't have my same issues the rest of the year.
To Donovan, had an outstanding time holding you off in Race two but you fell into my trap quite nicely! I guess my race craft isn't so rusty after all but I need to start learning to drive looking through the windshield and not my mirror so much...although I was driving out the passenger window a lot in race 3!! :lol:
Lyons...I had a blast playing together in Race 3...sadly, all my problems were coming full circle and you got me back for a strong podium after a pretty rough weekend. Great way to stick with it!
Frank keeps getting faster and he is going to have a lot of data on the R888's after the enduro! He is only getting faster and pretty soon the AI pack is going to look like the CMC pack.
For me...wow...all the old tires in my inventory are getting thrown in the trash. A couple were date coded Feb 05' and it's time to start dipping into my newer stock. I felt like I was in a Formula Drift contest all weekend and figure in the Mass air meter plug coming off and basically having an on/off switch for a gas pedal...I am happy to have just finished all three races. It appears it came off saturday in race 1 but just over looked it all weekend.
The next 60 days is going to call for several improvements to find ways to stay up with these guys. It's been nice for 3 years to not have to change much on the car to run up front but things are changing and the pack is closing in. You know you got to do something when you best your personal records by 1/2 second with a limping car and a couple of other guys destroy that by over a second just a year later! Maybe we DO have the fastest AI field in the US?! 8)
