I hope everything is ok with the Maverick. As I was leaving (I hit the road early to get back to Austin), I thought I saw it being pushed off course. Tell me that wasn't serious and you won't have to miss the GG event again!

Hope to see you this weekend again...

Yeah. I needed a little help getting off the course that time which also ended my day. I spun it and somehow shook things violently enough to break my coil bracket. The coil then fell on the Alternator which not only burned a hole in the coil but also shorted out the entire system. So no more runs for me that day. Luckily, autozone is only a couple miles down the road and a new coil, fuse, and an extra large hose clamp was all I needed to drive it home. I've got parts that should show up today to get it back to racing shape. Having the issue was a real bummer though as I was just getting into that confident racing mode again. 45's were well within reach and I had 4 more runs left. If only I raced enough to not need 10+ runs to find my racing persona. This weekend should be different. Let the games begin.
