Just got back from South Bend.....Fast time of the day....59 competitors....There was a well driven Lotus seven replica which finished with two drivers second and third. I won from the next guy by .05 seconds. His co driver was .3 seconds behind him. We got six runs. I hit cones on three of them....never the same cone. They had the course a bit pinched in a couple places and I hit two of them on the outside of the approach to the 180 degree turn onto the skid pad. The other I clipped in the Slalom.

I slipped a disc or something yesterday and was very worried about my back acting up. I almost stayed home...I am very glad I did not. I took an Alieve and was ok though my hands trembled a bit when hooking up my belts.

It was about 83 F today. I had to get out of the car between runs to take air pressures and look at temps of tires. The front tires were significantly warmer on the inside of the tread face so I am going to pull in the toe out a bit before the next event. Oh yes, I ran with both sway bars unhooked. I think I was pushing the front a little so I will have to think what to adjust to get less of that.

Did I say Wooo Hoooo?
