Blytheville Pro 2: Electric Boogaloo

[BMcCann]

Blytheville Pro got rescheduled to May 1-3.

I might be able to go now! Anyone else considering going now that it (probably) won't be 20 degrees out?

May 3rd is the local Texas Region event.

For those of you who missed out:



Event was fantastic. I put 1.5 on the rest of GS field (very surprising!) and was the #4 qualifier for the Super Challenge. First round was up against Zack Barnes in an RX-8 they put together 3 days before the event and won by .5. Next round was up against Grant Watkins and he had an off-course which gave me an easy win. Round of 8 was against Mark Glagola in his orange SSM Lotus Elise. He coned which helped me move on to semifinals where I got thumped by Mark Madarash. The third place runoff was against Chris Harvey in his CS NC. My dial-in should have been .9 slower than his...however his tree dropped before mine. He ended up breaking out by 2.7 seconds!! I was thinking about it on the way home and I'm 90% certain they swapped the dial-ins on accident. Chris and I got in contact with Howard and are waiting to see if they have the data from that round to see if I actually was quicker.

Anyways, it was a great course and I had a great time. It's less of a tow than Nationals through some beautiful parts of Arkansas. If its during the right time next year, you should plan to go!

The grid for the challenge had a very strong Texas flavor on Sunday... 13 of 32 cars.
