Report:

The trip up was uneventful (good!).

Test and TUne was uneventful - and DRY.

Day one was WET -> drying. At the end of the day, I was third in my class 
because my last run was dirty. Otherwise I would have had a 1.8 second 
lead.

Day two was dry but cool. I left the soft setup (no rear bar) and the car 
wouldn't rotate at all. I wound up more than 2 seconds in the lead with 
_all dirty runs_.

For the weekend, 8 timed runs, 1 re-run for timing errors and 1 re-run for 
a red flag on course and _SEVEN_ dirty timed runs!

But between the lobster bake, the HUGE surface (the courses were over 90 
seconds in the dry), the BBQ and the laid-back atmosphere (first car off 
was "11-ish") it was a great event.

I def. plan to go to this event in the future.
