WCCC race
I went to the WCCC today, went out in the first round...darn it!
Went 14.62 @97 mph, not too bad considering the 2.59 end and not racing for 31 years
Now that 3.55 end gear........

Re: WCCC race (grapeknutz)
Too bad about the first round loss. I'll bet you're prepairing for the next one already. Let me guess. You have a Crossfire and you raced at LACR. Good luck and...
RACE ON!!!

Hey Grape.
Welcome back to racing. What and where did you race 31 years ago?
I came back to racing in '02 after 22 years out of the seat and it takes some practice to get back into a competitive reaction time and to tune up your top end driving "skills". Welcome back and hope to see you back at LACR in Feb.
