Okay now that the results are posted I am really happy overall with how I did considering how the car acted all weekend.

Placing 6th out of 69 cars in the AutoX really makes me happy. And beating the likes of Mary Pozzi, Kyle Newman, Shipka and Casanova who are all fantastic experienced drivers with well great cars. How can I not love that?

12th on the Road Course is a minor letdown for me. But I never made a clean lap and the motor wasn't at 100% so not really fair to expect the Top 5 I was shooting for.... motor plans hopefully remedy that for next year.

22nd in the Speed Stop/Slalom isn't very good but what can I expect when I have no torque, tall gears and have to keep my foot on the gas while braking on the U turn to avoid stalling due to the carb? I did love the event though and agree with Todd in that it's a great ultimate test for any car... and this event might single-handedly be responsible for my changed plan for BadMotor V2.0. Gotta have some torque! And a carb with road race floats will happen to avoid that issue again....

Overall, was happy to be healthy, happy to see all my buddies and make new friends.... finishing strong with a wounded car is just the icing baby.

Can't wait til next year already...
