[Fot] So how did it go?

[Robert Lang]

 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 with 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 of 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 corner exit speed and you can see it in the lap times. In any case, I'm super stoked 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 doubt 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 really 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 Services. '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 think 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.

Okay, I imagine things are winding down at Lime Rock by now.  So, how 
did it go?  Kastner Cup?
