I saw JP making some shake down runs in his new sport compact machine....

I almost raced Saturday night... as soon as I got under the tower it started raining :(

Sunday @ ETown was a little warm but DRY for a change & the Street Wars event was completed without so much as a drop of rain :eek: :eek: :eek: A few C4's & at least one C5 got to race today :cool:

I did!

Short version: Red lit Friday night, first round, trying out a new launch technique. Napped, Saturday, perfecting (?) that technique. At least the fatal nap came in the semi-finals.

RACE ON!!!

We leave for the 14 hour drive to Huntsville, AL this Thursday night....$20,000 to win in foot-brake & $5,000 to win in Super Pro. I sure hope the weather bill get's paid for that track!!!!!! We are running both classes, Jeff in the C5 & Emily in the dragster as well as sponsoring another famous footbraker, Manny Sousa, in his 75 Fairmont! :cheers: Hey, anyone near that track should come on out & cheer us on! (we need all the help we can get! :D ) :thumbs:

With OUR track's management, rain is the LEAST frequently used excuse for failing to complete an event.

RACE ON!!!
