Thats a good one Eric!

Way to go Ralph, that new A/C compressor at home must have rubbed off on you because you sure did cool down Joe, who was ON FIRE yesterday!

Thanks everyone. I dont know if it was just my perception, but there was some good racing yesterday. Starting with Farley v Panuzzo in the first round. The champ goes .013 and 2 over and it aint good enough That was followed by gang killer lights, including the .021 that Chief "Med" Higgins prescribed for me...i dunno how i got around that one I had no easy rounds with 3 double-oh stripes and the .030something tree that Joe L served up in the final. The pro 10 guys were no exception either with 10.0x qualifying and 030 trees like it was nothing.

Congrats to Joe L who about cleaned the table yesterday, finishing in the top 2 or 3 in the 3 classes he was running at the same time. I think he came in for right side tires and fuel in lap 15... I might have won the final, but i'm pretty sure Joe was the happiest guy at the track yesterday

I'll be putting up a goose egg at the next event as i've been roped into a family vacation during a race weekend

That's too bad Ralph. 'Cause when the "cat" is away the "mice" are definitely going to play!

Congrats Ralph, you raise the bar for whoever races you!!

I think Joe's giving notice to everyone that he's going to be the man to beat. His car has been running great the past couple of races. Congrats on your finishes Joe!
