Default More close racing.



Last week I posted a thread of a close bracket race where I won by .006. Yesterday at the labor day drags in Sonoma, I bettered that with a .002 win in the first round. My opponent was the points leader and gave up the stripe. The second round I had a ten thousandths package (unfortunately against a red), won the third round with a .016 light and lost in the fourth with a -.002 red. It was a long, fun day. Below are time slips of the first 2 runs.

Do you race every Wednesday? I'll be out there in a few weeks. I'd love to come out to the track again for a bit.

Most Wednesdays I'm out there. There is no racing next Wednesday. Indy cars coming to town and they are practicing. I should be out the following Wednesday the 19th. If you plan to be out there, we can meet up.
