I ended up losing a clamp on my soft top which just shook itself loose on my
first run. Might have happened while I was doing my McKee-Esra-Elpiner spin
move on the final section coming back? It ended up being a $30.00 run. I
hope the clamp comes before Friday, or at least there is no rain on Sunday.
I thought it was a great course, but my rear tires were rubbing most of the
time due to the bumps. I asked Ben to make it more of an MG course rather
than a Capri course, but I guess he didn't hear me - even though he was
looking straight at me! =) I think he's just saving that MG course for this
Sunday at Stockton.
