Ed and I had very similiar weekends,

Ed has been trying to break that 300 mph barrier and I've been trying to break into the 9's

Ed went 366 mph in T/SA and I went 9.94 et in A/S, and we both lost ugly in the 1st rd , , AND , , had a great time.

Dave and Ed, I will second that with both of you, I met some great people this weekend and enjoyed every minute of it. The racing was exiting also and we also lost first round of class and first round on Saturday but that did not matter. Dave congrats on the new record, your car impressed me also. Joe Fasano.

Dave,Briane scared me up to R this weekend.At T weight it probably would have gone 350 at least.:>):>)Fun time anyway.The Shootout was great.And Scott Gove had the runs of the weekend.
I'd like to thank Bob Lang,the Div 1 crew and Lex and the Maple Grove crew for a good weekend in spite of the unavoidable problems.

Agree, drove down with 3 friends and we all had a great time.
Weather was great going up to 71 on Sunday.
Only thing cold was the brewski at the end of race days...
Nice to talk to George M, Don F, Tony to name a few.
Good to see J Bender back in action.
SANTA made it as well, and got a request from a famous track reporter present at the Dutch for lots of engine parts for his 2 cars....
Have no problem waiting for track prep to make it sticky and safe...
Hope I stay healthy enough to return next year.

Yes i had a great time, even with being cold it was neat to be the parking greeter for a few days and then run around and see all my D1 friends.

thanks again for all the friendship over in D1

Looks like they had a decent crowd in the stands I hate to admit it but Div 1 racers are way cool..

vic guilmino · 10-27-2010, 08:58 AM

hey dave
i did not think it was ugly

Dave Casey · 10-27-2010, 09:59 AM

Well Vic, let me recap 1. I was big time late, 2. I spun , 3. I got way left toward the centerline and was skating around. 4. I was a tenth over.

you were .002 and did a good job at the finishline, you deserved to win, I didn't.

I waited a little till I saw cars going up, wanted the right lane, random pairing, so I pull up and there are 10 or more cars in line, I head for the right lane and SURPRISE,,,, everyone of those cars is in the left lane and you are first, I guess everyone knew that you were going to have a 002 light and didn't want to race you.
