OK, here is Saturday's Qualifying race.

I'm still pissed about the fact that my shifter *** came out in my hand on the last straight of the last lap giving Dave the win, I still think he was setting me up because I just didn't have the torque to get out of the corners like he did.

Really the only good parts of this video are the start and the last lap, I cut out most of the boring stuff as I do with most of my race videos.

I'll get the Championship race up soon, I'm just trying to get over my bitterness.

What tires do you run in the rain? Great vid, thanks for posting

I ran **** *** Toyo RA1s from 2003 they were still glazed over (never run) and hard as a rock. One of my fronts was also mounted backwards so it was drawing water in instead of pushing it out. I think I was the only front runner not on Hoosier wets I was able to scrub them in a bit and get my front remounted and I qualified in the rain for the 2nd Qualifing race in 3rd so it helped.

At the time of the 2nd race I think I had more seat time in that car in the wet then dry, I was almost hoping for a Wet finals. Wet or dry I think I would have finished about were I did 3rd DQed to 4th of 17.

Ken,

Neat videos. I am still kicking myself for not turning the video on for Friday's rain race; it was my best performance of the weekend.

On Saturday's race I am not too proud of my entry into Turn Nine...I kinda cut you off. Sorry.

Also, on Lap One going thru Thunder Valley did I hear you say to someone on the radio "Tell me what Dave is doing?"

What's the background music you used for the rain race?

Get over the bitterness, in the long run it will be a positive ( aside from financial impacts ). It was for me, and my incident was not even close to a racing incident. Be glad yours was!

I learned people sure race differently in a "regional race" vs a championship race. There were a few spots I was like WTF, but I'll know for next time.

Yeah, you did hear that, I knew that you were going to be the one chasing me down and I wanted to know where you were. What killed me is the fact I have so little seat time in that car I couldn't get the feel in the dry and was running 1:37s the first few laps just letting you close in. I should have been able to just check out but that's racing, it was my race to lose and I did.

I'm bitter about NASA reaction, I'm bitter about that being raced out of class, the actual racing was all one big learning experience and I'm quite happy that I was even in the hunt with a car I had very little time in and it wasn't even sorted out, hell I made a big sway bar adjustment right before the race and I've never did an adjustment on a sway bar before and had know idea how it would affect the car, just went off some advice and said let's give it a shot, not only that but never ran new tires on the car before the final race. I had no business running up front, I really hope I get this car figured this year.

BTW don't ask me what brake pads are on the car, I still don't know

Thanks for the videos. My wife even watched the one in the rain.
