We just got home and the Camaro now has an extra 1205 miles on it from the past 4 days, some of them harder than the others. We had a great time at this event and taking home another win is just icing on the cake. The best part as always was the people and getting see old friends and make new ones.
Mark's car is a work of art and is so well put together you would never believe it was just finished the night before. I knew if he showed we would have our work cut out for us and boy did we. I have never been so happy to finish second place as to be as close as I was to a car and driver of that caliber has given me a boost. The Prodigy engine ran great with no issues and feels like it is making even more power as it is getting broken in. I love the torque out of the turns as you don't have to focus on keeping the engine wound up, Just focus on hitting your marks.
Having the top 6 go out in order of times was great for the runoff and I think only one person actually had to pass during the finals. I could see Mark at the end of the back straight each lap and when I could see he was just putting a little distance on me each lap I started pushing it harder and harder. Without that I would have never put down the numbers I did so a big thanks to Mark for giving me something to chase.
Now that Mark has his invite to Pahrump I will need to dig deep into my bag of tricks to try and close the gap. I know it is a big challenge as he will only continue to get faster as the car gets sorted out.
A big thanks to everyone who put this on and especially to Scott at Motorstate as we could not have been there without their great support.
