If I had a few more of those runs I could possibly been high C or low B final. Oh well that is racing.
too bad, was hoping for a higher main as well. on my end had too much grip and was rolling almost every other corner, hence our table calling my car a TRF edition (traction roll forever)!
only had 1 or 2 good runs until the car settled, but still wasn't good enough because had to be conscious of the car going on 2 wheels especially in the sweepers!

must have been the same marshal as mine. Small local guy wearing the crocodile slippers with gelled up hair? I went up to him after my heat and asked him why he didn't flip my car after standing in front of it for 10 seconds and he said "WHY SHOULD I HELP?"... I almost flipped...
