    Hmmm, I'll see if I can make it down 1 day. Probably Saturday. May even bring the car and race.

    Would be cool to meet you. What is the setup on the car you are bringing?

    Watched some videos on someone's Facebook earlier, looks like fun, but 1/8 is so short. I don't know of any 1/8 tracks or races in my area.

    Good to meet Joe and the Crew! Have a safe trip home. Let us know how you did on Sunday if you stayed.

    We had some great air! It was a record attendance for the race. There was 593 (I think) entries. Some were doubled up. I would guess about 400 cars.

    We got lucky in the first round when we spun but the other guy red lit. Its pretty bad when the announcer sees you spinning.

    2nd rd something weird happened with the car. I need to check the TP sensor.

    Here are the videos I got.

    Triple Threat Q1 5.71

    Sherm Q1 6.41

    Triple Threat Q2 5.72

    Triple Threat 1st entry E1

    Sherm E1

    Triple Threat 2nd entry E1

    Sherm E2

    Test N Tune at Cecil County is $40 bucks. Guess I've not been to a track in while, it was $10 at NPR in Belle Rose LA...
