Think I heard his name announced once during qualifying. Should have checked the qualifying sheet to see if he made it. Hope he had a better weekend than I. lol

He was there, and there were some issues, and did not qualify. He may or may not wish to talk about it.

But when we got back to the track very late, Friday night after piecing our engine back together on Wednesday/Thursday, Jimi was still there.

So, good or bad, he made it and he competed. His car didn't perform as he had hoped, but I think there have been a few others (like us for one) who have had similar experiences of being disappointed with their car on their first race with it.

I admire perseverance..... So I congratulate Jimi simply for trying.

And just as I wish for myself and others, Better Luck Next Time!
