    Yup... these race weekends would be much less stressful without having to worry about getting the car back and forth. Main problem now is finding a place to keep a trailer with the HOA Nazis around here I don't have many good options...

    So after looking at the set of stocker rockers my engine guy had on hand we determined they were pretty much junk so we borrowed a spare from one of his buddies/customers who had a couple extras. So now I have one big red aluminum rocker amongst a bunch of small grey steel ones... It's a pretty funny sight

    In time trials ran three personal bests in a row... the air was cold and very good compared to what we usually get up here... cracked off 11.75, 11.71 and a 11.675 in succession (I was shocked to see that 6 on there ) Previous best was 11.799 with a very stiff tail wind.

    First round of eliminations by some twist of fate I got laddered against the guy whose spare rocker made its way onto my motor late the night before ... With my crummy reaction and car missing the dial I sure tried to make up the favor but he went red chasing me down

    Anyhow, car was great and I got lucky a couple of times but got eliminated second round in two different classes...
