Looks good. I can do that in the rain.
Rain & Dry
Thanks to everybody who were able to make it out to Mineral Wells on a rainy morning. We were especially impressed with the drivers who signed up onsite despite the less than ideal weather. On the other hand, it was a great chance to up the skills in wet conditions.
As usual, we are very grateful for everyone's assistance in running the event.
After the well hydrated surface in the morning, we saw a dry afternoon with improvements of 5 to 10 seconds across the board. There were even some drivers that saw better improvements, up to 17 seconds!
The closest battle for the podium took place in class Z, where four drivers were within 0.5 seconds. Ultimately Jonathan A. grabbed his second win of the year to stay on top of the class.
In the Novice class, Trey V. came in with his 3rd win in a row, now for a sole lead in the class.
Speaking of wins in a row; Matt D. now has 5 wins for the year in Class F, although he was challenged by Gagik F. finishing only 3 tenths behind. The battle for second place is very close with 3 drivers within 7 points of each other. In class Y, Thomas J. grabbed his 2nd win (and FTD) in a row, taking a commanding lead in the class. A second win for the year also went to Ray M. in class B.
In the first win category, we have two drivers. In Class D, Dan L. cruised to victory as a sole contender, while Brando D's class win in X, rocketed him into 3rd place in the class.
Congratulations!
