    As I powered out of the sweeper at the south end, the car went strangely silent. Good thing my foot was planted or I would've slowed more. FWIW, it only managed to limp along for maybe 10 seconds before crossing the finish and then running completely dry in grid. Nearly at my parking spot.
    That was a 70 sec run.
    We'll have to add that one to the excuse generator.

    Well, I wasn't going to mention it, but since you've cranked up the generator:

    sammm asked to borrow my water sprayer just before my last run.
    I said, "Sure, I'm done with it."
    sammm then proceded to put additional cooling water on my tires!!!
    I hit two cones due to better turn-in and it fouled-up my timing for the rest of the run.
    I went from second to fourth in the time it took sammm to walk around my car.


    Wow - that generator is fun. No wonder some of you can't leave it alone

    Pardon the bad quality, wasn't planning on taking pics and just brought the point and shoot instead of the dSLR. Vid to follow if i can figure out how to convert quicktime/mp4 to a window movie maker format.

    Crappy quality after compression but it looked pretty good in 16:9 format on the computer. Driving is about on par with the video quality, still learning the car :)
