Very cool, congrats on the round wins Tony.

He was running without the blower belt (ie: those low 12s) I assume?

Good seeing you there Tony. Going rounds against the NEDs best is not easy.

Hopefully the points you earned for RP will get a better pit spot for next year...you guys were parked way out there.

EDIT: Just read RP came in 2nd in total points behind 2X champ Numidia.

Nothing like getting an easy first round opponent. Nice job of holding your own against some of the best in the business.
