Well despite the toe pain, I went out a huntin' Copolo. Had the ladder worked like a charm till someone did not stick to the plan and I ended up not racing Vinnie in the first race. He went on to win and bury my little shot at a title (I would have to beat him first round and win all next four races but it was a shot). Race two I race Mr. #1 and he cuts his worst light of the day leaving the door open for me round 1 and I took it. Course I screwed up round two so no hope for me remains.

I tried!

Tough break for Bogdan who ran 10.500 in qual #1 then broke the trans....he is probably under the car right now.

10 cars today...nice job guys
