Had a great time despite getting off to a rocky start. Due to a huge rain delay Friday, Dan & Bob were forced to go with "plan B" for the event. Basically we made what run's we could on Friday to get an idea of how our car's ran. With these E.T.'s we were assigned a special lane in the staging lanes with car's that ran within half a second and had heads-up runs all day Saturday. It didn't quite give the same competitive feel that the 2 out of 3 shootouts do, but it was kind of fun running several different car's that were close to each other. For example, Lane 1 car's running 11.50-12 flat lane 2 12.01-12.50 lane 3 12.51-13 flat And on and on through lane 8. There was some talk of maybe running time trials like this on Friday of next years race,and then the regular 2 out of 3 shootout on Saturday, which would be fine with me, almost like 2 full day's of heads-up racing :3gears: Thanks again to Dan & Bob for a first class event, and as usual it was great to see old friends, and to make some new one's :TU:
Super plan This was a whole lotta fun and I hope we do this again next year. You can always line up with the same guy three times if you want to run a "simulated" shootout on the practice day. Thanks again, Dan and Bob
As usual, a great event with great friends....I swear I could leave the vette at home and just spend two days visiting all the people who show up......

Finally home, long day Just got in. Had trailer trouble in Toledo. Got lucky I didn't lose the Runner ou: More later, going to bed Lon OO====OO
What a riot! as usual. Thanks Dan, Bob and all the folks who help them pull this off :TU: My guts hurt from all the laughter, like Donny said just doing the social calls is a blast....then add racing to top it all off. :laugh: The Friday rain wasn't so bad.....after nine years of attending this was the first near wash out. The backup plan was good and worked out well....99% of the folks I talked to wanted the shootouts for sure. After a good cool down at the front of the line, coupled with the gear, new shocks and clutch dump/brake stab/tire baste I was able to change my signature! :3gears: :TU:
