What Tag means is that we'll be 'sponsor'ing the event.

Wow...what a week at the birds. Thanks to Jon and Freddy for coming to show their support. The batteries helped out as I had no issue with lack of power. A big congrats to Mike D for doing well in both stock and 19T. His RDX was just as dialed as Cuffs. Next year Mike. A special thanks to Mike for the talk we had.

You really had to be on top of your game this year. In preveious years the competition wasn't as fierce. This year.....very competitive. I noticed alot of names that should have been in either the A or B main but ended up in C, D and even the E mains and this goes for both 19T, stock and modified.

As for me. Just wasn't my week. I definately had traction problems. My car was much faster in practice. But as soon as the traction came up I struggled. The two other Pro4 drivers struggled as well, so it was a slight feeling of reassurance that it wasn't just me. The car finally came around in my last qual. But with the resort after the 1st qualifier if you didn't do well, you got stock with less experienced drivers. I definately learned alot about high traction setups. Hopefully I'll be better prepared at the next big race.

Jon: The RDX was awesome. I didn't see a bad running RDX all weekend. What I liked most was that even when the driver took the wrong line, the RDX did not get unsettled easily and was easy to correct. I was actually going to pick one up but unfortunately Supperior ran out of them. I am however going to stick with the Pro4 for rubber tires on asphalt. No time for the Nats. See you all there.

Proteus - Jeff, I hear ya. You gave it your best shot. Like we talked about on the phone, there's not much you could've done with the car. Sometimes that's just the way it is.

Butter - Nice meeting you too, dude. Cool to hang out with all the guys at the Race Rock. Glad you didn't send the server through the pane glass window.
