Mr Beard you are on a tear this yr. Not unlike past yrs!! Congrats. You said they put you in GT/MA, would your car naturally fit that class?

Thanks everyone! GT/MA...yeah, with a 318! ;). No, they were just trying to find something with an index close to H/CM.

Got to bed about 2:30am, up at 7:40am. Ran the generator all night to run the fan in the tent... Made it decent. Had a refreshing shower, then planned to make the 30min drive to Gonzales to find a Wally World to stock up on fruit, Powerade, ice, and some other such goodies... Only to find the right rear tire on the truck flat! Always a PITA to change, but when done, made up my mind I was still going to the store, knowing I would miss a time trial or two. Got back in time for the S/SS run. Was going everything in my head, and kept thinking I forgot something. Bump in to Stage.... Ah! Still have my clip-on shades on! Whipped them off and jumped on the converter... Bang, .009. :). Best run of the weekend, 60' .04 faster than yesterday, and an 11.10, compared to yesterday's early-day 11.29. Track's definitely better. Just a little overcast, helping things out.

Racer's Appreciation Luncheon!!!! Gotta jet. :)

Didn't make it to the luncheon, as they called No-Box. Had the bye from last night's win. Good thing, as the sun came out, and we're back to blowing the tires off. :( Will see if I can muddle through. Couple new entries today, Jarrod Granier among them.

Good luck to ya'll.

Wow, Pat. Hope the coming days are better for you. Get well soon!

Mystery solved... Radials are down to cords. They're weren't that old, or so I thought. Runs add up QUICK when you're double-entering 3 races per weekend. My fault. Still in going into 4th rnd of No-Box, though.

Gonna try to get some miles under my belt tonight. Wore out! (Me and the car both!)
