Yeah, that was weird because we ended up with the same laps even though my battery dumped with one minute to go. It must have been a computer glitch.

Raul, Thanks for offering to update my RS pro. I was having a hard time adjusting my driving to the speedo as it was, so I didn't want to throw the car down on the track with a new profile untested. Plus, I wanted to get a feel for the esc without the update before I switched, to see which one I liked better. I'll be back down in 2 weeks (the 21st?) so maybe if you have your laptop again I can take you up on the offer. If not I'll just make Mark or Will do it for me.

Hey guys,

Bill,
First off, I wasn't mad at you sir, I'm never mad at anybody, I usually make the rounds and say hi to everyone, I was just concentrating on trying to get my stuff ready, last week I forgot to charge my car batteries a couple of times because I got distracted, Sometimes you have more fun talking to people in the pits than actually racing...

Steve,
Still dissapointed by the way I won, I would've been happier, If I came in a close second, than winning cause you broke... but still good racing. 21 would be more than possible if we keep our times consistently below 18 seconds. I guess will never know, new layout, new times, new lap count..

Mikey,
CALM DOWN, no complaining about the marshalling... isn't that what you told me when I was talking about the bad marshalling??

It's fustrating, I know, specially when I didn't crash, I just couldn't see my car cause the marshall was slow to sit back down on the bucket... it happens, what can you do....

Besides, when you punch the wall, I think everyone gets a second or two slower, cause we're thinking "which one of us are you gonna throw off the driver's stand,"

I think Saturday, I'm gonna re-focus on truck, while I have a lot of fun with the 2wd, I want to make sure my truck is dialed for the regionals, I still got lots to figure out.

I think I did too much to my truck in one night, I've should've kept my old set up(new oil though) and just try the new tires. or change the suspension set up and keep my old tires. Oh well, you live and learn, then you get faster...

I deducted 2 laps from your main because I asked you twice to pull your car off the track before the mains (It was announced that the track was closed for maintenance to begin with) while I was sweeping and watering the track for maintenance, and you were ignoring me/ wern't listening to me/ didn't hear me. You were deducted a third lap for cutting the track (right after crashing the big double, you cut the track straight to the center double.)

Is the track open as normal all week. I know you were thinking of changing the layout this week. Just checking as I would like to get some practice in.

I agree with a well watered track versus the dust ontop of the hard stuff.
