Not bad for an old man

Round one - The highlight race of the first round was Frank "Mr Mojo" Schear flexing his Mojo and clocking a perfect .000 reaction time against former Champion Bob Trieschmann leaving Bob with nothing to do but accept the first round loss.
The rest of the writeup

Wish I could have gone further than teh second round where I redlit really bad.

You can never win if you don't begin. Nice try Frank.

Actually now I'm in 29th place out of 104, started out in 4th after the first event.

We got rained out of a few events and I did miss one for some strange reason.

I was 27th going into Saturday so I'm still sliding down, but I can still break into the Top 16 and go for the big bucks at the end of the year.

I forgot this post is without pics, so here is the timeslip.
I wish I had video, but the videographer was racing also, so we only have 2nd round and up.

After I found out I had the perfect light I was pissed that I hit teh brakes at the end, it would have been nice to get a perfect R/T and a perfect dial. That's only been done 3 times in 40 years at my track.
