    Yesterday (5-14) was a fun day. This was the last race of the 2015-2016 season; the weather was perfect for us all day. There were the usual number of thrown chains and other minor mechanical problems, but no crashes. Everyone went home with their cars intact. After last week's fiasco I was hoping for a good day to redeem myself. The good news is no tire problems befell me. In fact NO problems of any kind arose. My car performed flawlessly all day and I won my class in both races... FINALLY! This restores my faith that maybe I know what I'm doing!

    So, as it turns out I won the first and last races of the season with a string of mechanical and tire problems in between. Also, I missed 4 of the 9 races scheduled in my region because I sold cars and didn't get new ones built in time. At one point I considered retiring from the sport, but... well... maybe not yet. I brought my car home without a scratch and with a 1st place trophy. The season is over and the car and batteries will go into storage until next September. Unless someone comes along in the meantime and buys this car, I'll be ready!
