At the event there was one other CM car there. It is older than mine and the driver outweighs me by 75#. I did not expect he would beat me....wrong! He crushed me. His best time was a 41.6, and fast time of the day. mine was a 46.5. When I left I felt pretty low from such a massive defeat. So today I got the times for everybody.

I found I was 15th in a big field of 134 cars. I found that a good many guys who have beaten me in the past were slower than I including at least two national champions.

So now I feel better and i have some ideas for tweaking the car to make it faster.
