Placed 9th out of 71 cars on Sunday. Junk tires but not too bad. Driving was not particularly good but I only got three runs. This was the 2nd run and fastest. 68.9.

3 Corvettes-C5 and C6's, a 14 Mustang, 70 Camaro, 79 Monte Carlo, GMC Sonoma, 72 LeMans.

All of which where much better prepared cars with a LOT more money in them. Some of those in fact at least 3 of those where driven to their fastest times by a REALLY fast driver so there is that.Oh and they didn't have the junk tires on like I did.

Had I had a good set, I would have been 3rd or 4th area.
