Lots of fun, this. Thanks to everyone for showing up. I am surprised at how few DNFs we had.

I had a really good pace going a couple weeks ago when I first signed up for the event. My personal best is like a 9:40, but in the day before the race, I was only able to find 9:45 and wasn't consistent, at that. Raceday and I qualified with 9:48 and was pretty happy to just be near the front. The race started clean and safe. I had made a point to race really easily because I did NOT want to end up with damage or screwing my whole race by pushing too hard. Unfortunately, I took it too relaxed and was driving lazy and caught myself touch a smidgen of grass and that was all she wrote. I slammed both ends of my car into the walls in a narrow downhill section and lost both wings and took damage all over. I came to a stop in front of traffic and had contact with at least one or two cars. I am really sorry to whomever was caught up in that.

From there, I had a REALLY long and painful lap back to the pits in last place. After that, my whole race was quite clean. Because I had to pit so early, I still had to make a second fuel pit later in the race ,so any chances of finding serious positions was pretty much shot unless someone ahead of me had a serious incident. I ended up crawling up to 9th by the end of it and was happy to finish in the top 10 after that mistake. I would like to do more running of this track. I like doing it casually as an exhibition because it's too stressful a circuit for really serious racing.

Thanks again to everyone for coming out. It was good.
