Thanks Ken for all you have done this season to keep us updated

Looks great Ken, car not only looks good but handles beautifully. Hardly a turn of the wheel so you can concentrate on shift points.

Thanks guys for the kind words... I'm glad to do the reports, I wish I could be at more races. Live timing is keeping you updated, so I'm heading out soon. I will not be doing the open tomorrow. Although I did not spin, and in the video it does not look like much, but when I get the the 900 ft mark the car moves around more than I like.

This track definitely needs to be improved. The track surface is not consistent. You have to have your car setup soft for sure. The overall facility is nice, we got here late and pitted outside the gate, and had no issues. Concession stand was also good and they sell ice here for $3 a bag. People are friendly, but the track surface needs help.

How did Matt Lisa lose .15 in 60’ from E5 to E7?

Probably Spun.

As did many when you look at live timing, some that spun virtually never do either.

Looks like #1 in SS suffered from something related to traction. If NMCA is going to have an event there, I trust that they will bring their own crew and keep the cheap skates out of the program.

LOL- first time my car ever spun and went hard left- first Q run. Pretty bad.
