I never knew if the tires were gonna lock or not. At one point I was approached by the FAA. They wanted my N number since I appeared to be crop dusting most of the time.

    To be honest, I could care less if you believe me. I had old tires w/ flatspots on the rear. A driverside front tire that was cupped down the center due to being run way over inflated early last year. My C6 calipers spread and I had to put my who knows how old (raced in CMC for 6 years) f-body calipers back on the week before the event. I had tapered pads (due to the calipers that spread) on the front. The fact that you think I'm a liar, doesn't mean I'm not telling the truth or that my parts were not less than ideal. I had fun. I was beat fair and square. I ran a very cautious race. But hey, why am I telling you? You could tell all that from the one race vid posted so far, right?

    Get off my ass Wayne. Of all people, I expected you to act your age.
    I am acting my age. Old farts have an "attitude".
    Sorry if I made you cry. I was really just rattling your cage. Nothing personal. Like some people I just wanted to get you stirred up. Guess it worked. Your Daddy called and said to lay off. Done.
    Hope you still love me.
    Have a nice day

    If anyone called you, it wasn't on my behalf. Fill me in on who called.
    I'm not anymore "stirred" than normal. And I like you just the same as before.

    Race 3 is up... I put the pressure on Frank a couple times but made too many mistakes to get past him...way to keep the lead Frank! Just noticed that Firefox and Safari both autoplay the latest videos (i.e. Race 2 and 3) and the controls don't show for Firefox in some cases...I'll work on that this week. In the meantime, you can stop one of the videos (Safari - click stop control, Firefox - right mouse click on the video and click stop from the menu).

    Think I saw a double block. I'll not point it out anymore than I already have. Lets be sure we are not doing this knowingly. The reason we don't allow it is to minimize the chance of contact. It almost happened in this instance.

    I guess nobody got my jump at T11 (R1?). It was no "Rob Who?", but I would sure like to see it.

    Good videos Brian! Wish I had been there. I'm waist deep in a motor swap at the moment. Old one is out and the new one needs new cam bearings and then it will go in... Hopefully will breathe life by the end of September...

    Race 4 is up now as well.
    Turns out I did turn on the camera for R1 but battery died before the end...
    still, might be worth it for the start and my spin...nope...no Glenn jump at T11 from what I saw.
    L8r this week...that's all the time I have for vidz right now.
