Rob if (when) JP sends you packing round one, please do not drive angrily though the staging lanes...
I would probably wait a race before buring myself

My list is getting longer.... 
When I lost 1st round at the last CC, Did I drive angrily through the staging lanes???? I did not return back to the staging lanes after the round 1 loss.
I do remember that one time my dial in was not on the small LED board as I was doing my burnout and it was not on the finish line board till both drivers where staged. I did notice the error a moment before the tree came down. I could not react quick enough to put the car in reverse to get out of the beams. I was also told by someone else that saw it and said the same thing. That really burns me up when that happens and the tower said "Oh well" - "Sorry" As we all have our track stories from racing, That is my only story. That made me drive out of the lanes upset. That was over a year ago. I can make a list of people that drive like idiots in Vettes at the track (Donuts in the parking lot, Whole shots....) But I keep it to myself, every dog has its day.

I know your sense of humor edgar. I just washed the Vette, I have not washed it since the last challenge. Also found the hesitation problem. The tab that sits in the center of the cap that delivers spark to the rotor was all carboned. It was so rough and out of shape that I had to actually to use sand paper to bring it back to its original shape. The carbon would not come off by picking at it. I also checked the tabs on the inside of the cap and they had a thin carbon layer on them. I think from all the rain/damp mornings would be the cause of this. After repairing this, The car ran great - No hesitation/dead spot when you hit the gas. Thank God I found the problem
