    TWS - It was a barn burner!

    it wasnt the weather that made it so hot, it was the action!

    there were many, many CMC/CMC-2 cars below the 2:00 mark. in fact, we saw a few 1:57's.

    and AI was not to be out done. Darron Cooke ripped out a 1:52! :shock:

    and many thanks to Matt and Frank for the smoke shows (really just Frank). mod motors hold a shitload of oil!!!!!!!!

    It was pretty hot off the track Saturday, but we were reallly lucky temp wise this weeekend.

    I had a blast as usual and especially the really hard close racing with Mitch in R4.

    It was a late night. We drug ass at the track and didn't leave until around 7:00, stopped for dinner, got the cars dropped off and back to the house around 1:00 AM. Woke up at 5:30 to take Jeremy to the airport.
    Today is already a rough day at work.

    On a good note, the racing was amazing this weekend!!! There was some incredible video taken during the event, and after.

    Yeah, we're still alive, but not as early as Glenn evidently.

    I've decided that having a mechanical breakdown while leading the race is not the way to end an otherwise good weekend. Thanks to the mighty Group 4 for a great weekend.

    I'll get videos posted soon - I hope. I took video of the last half of Race 3 from corner station six - I owe those guy a bunji cord - and shot Race 4 from the top of the grandstand including the grid, start, finish and more.

    Camaro, Mustang, doesn't matter to me, I'll race it.

    9.5 Quarts baby!!! Only thing that spared keeping mine alive as I think it had about 2 quarts left in it. I apologize for the mess and loss of usable practice time but this is racing and shit happens.

    I got done unloading everything but the car around 1am and nearly fell on the floor asleep in from the garage, Just unloaded the car just a minute ago so I didn't wake up the neighbors last night. Ended up taking a 1/2 day vacation this morning to try and recover as I am like the walking dead.

    Michael...be sure to get me that "after event" video!!! Bud Sharp is going to see how it's done!!! 8)
    Ah, fugg it.

    Sorry to hear of the trouble, Matt, but did you save the engine?
