In 13.5 our cars were very very good. The layout was tight and the traction was not the normal jack traction we were used to. The cars had a strange push slide type thing going on from the Stinky Fingers traction compound that was used.

It seemed as if the 3rd round was the fastest round for 13.5 top 3 was set in that round. I probably would of qualified 2nd but got into some backmarker/traffic on the last lap that caused me to have a long last lap. It happens but I got peeled from behind on the 1st lap of the main and got stuck on the boards and broke a blade trying to get my car free. It made the car a handful in the main.

Schreff deserves congrats, he drove awesome all weekend. This is the first of many wins I think for Top in the near future. So far the last 2 races we have both qualified in the top 3 both times and have a 2nd place and a win in 13.5, not too bad.

I'm interested to try this setup this weekend at our track, I think it may not work good since we use jack which has a lot less initial slip than Sticky Fingers.

In mod I drove horrible, my car wasn't bad at all for the first time attempting mod I just didn't have a clean run. We ran 10.5s in mod and our cars were as fast if not faster than basically anything out there.

Post questions if anyone has any about the setup.

Make sure your shock o rings and plastic pieces that go in the bottom seal are free when assembled.
You guys did awesome!!! Thanks for the setup. First of many wins?? I think the REEDY RACE was the PHOTON'S first big win.

How was the 16 hour drive back?
