A win is a win until someone says you did not win.

But if you did not really win does that mean you can still come back next year?
Yea, past champions get to come back... bad news for the others I guess.. lol (wow, the smack talkin starts already) -- in reality there were quite a few cars from last year in the competition.

And I never considered it a win, even the day after. It just didn't feel right or make sense. But I am happy with how we placed in several of the events.

Jimi told me something sort of funny. When everyone was complaining about th results several people said that the four events should be evenly weighted at 25% an event. Well, if that would have been the case I would have won. Right now the event is weighted very heavily towards the road course.

For example, My score was 5:36 .. of that only 5.1 seconds was the "car show" part and only about 14.5 seconds was the 0-60-0. Nearly 3/4 of our score was the road course.

Anyways, they will be making quite a few changes for next year and I can't wait to go back,
