 Super fun weekend. I've been chasing tire pressure issues all year and got=
 it together for the Cup race. Honestly, I was shocked that going softer wi=
th my rear bar would make a 1 second decrease in lap times, I didn't expect=
 the race to last 18 laps, so that was super kool because there was a lot o=
f traffic as the leaders caught up with the slower cars. I'm pretty sure I =
mentioned to the list how much time you can lose at Lime Rock with bad corn=
er exit speed and you can see it in the lap times. In any case, I'm super s=
toked that I got back to my "normal" Lime Rock lap times after my Thompson =
crash last year. I'm also pretty stoked that as-of 10 days prior to the cup=
, my car had no driveline installed, a motor in pieces and a number of bits=
 and bobs needed to get to the track. As Henry knows, I was in serious doub=
t that I'd make it with 2 weeks to go, but there you have it.
But the best part was hanging out with a bunch of Triumph folks and seeing =
some of the more recent "members" of the FOT really get the cars dialed in.=
 Super kool! I also tried my darndest to get some younger folks interested =
in Triumphs by handing out 30 Hot Wheels TR6's. Speaking of that, it was re=
ally kool to see Dave Riddle and Todd Redmond getting kids (young and old!)=
 to sit in the race cars for pix, etc during the Sunday in the Park - WELL =
DONE.
Sidebar to the Spitfire crowd - if you track down the ex Kent Bain car for =
the asking price - GET THE SETUP NOTES. I know that car does 1:03's at Lime=
 Rock because I timed him a couple of times because I could not believe how=
 fast it was. But that car is a STEAL at the asking price. Vintage Racing S=
ervices. 'Nuf said.Pretty sure those guys just tap the brakes to enter Big =
Bend and nowhere else.
Sorry about getting crossed up in the left hander in the opening lap, I thi=
nk I was freaking out that I had jumped to 4th! That said, it seems the new=
 motor is putting out some ponies. Next MoAH GEERZZ.
