Fellows,
I had a terrific time, and I appreciate the camaraderie especially since I'm
pretty new to all of this. You guys really did a nice job putting it together!
I felt pretty good about finishing in the middle after starting in the last
row. I wish I knew why my transponder was not functioning; something else to
look at before Labor Day weekend. I sorted out my wonky brake light switch, and
I apologize if the car was sending mixed messages! (I really don't use the
brakes as much as folks may have thought...)
The downer for me was that my gearbox developed an attitude going from the
track to the pit after the big race! I had to winch it on the trailer (and I
gotta get an electric winch someday- hoo, boy!).
I doubt I will be able to get to Blackhawk in October, but I look forward to
next year's event in Pittsburgh.
