I'm across the bridge in Lewisville... I refuse to drive every day across that lake bridge.

There are back roads. I drive to Flower Mound for work and I never go near that bridge.

I am going to Hallett this weekend.

So Sharpie how was it??

It friggin' ROCKED!!!! They bumped Iain and I up to the experienced group last year and we had a blast. They did the same thing to me this year, but at least 5 of the cars in that class were BOOSTED and two of them were race cars, one FMII and his son with a M62. Those two were flyin, with lap times of 1:26, my best lap was 1:47. I was slow, but had fun out there. They were just too fast to have a true benefit for me, because I could only follow them through two turns and then they were gone. There was also one of the miata based Super 7's or whatever they are called, he was flyin too, that thing is SUPER light. Seems like each time I do a track event someone else is BOOSTED. I've got my sights on going turbo myself, I've been waiting 5 years and I think I'm ready to bite the bullet!

I did have one good spin in turn 6. Don't look into your mirror when you should be braking. I almost saved it with 3 little drifting manuevers, but got afraid of being hit from the car behind me, so when it was safe I let it go straight of the track and then finish with a 180 slide in the grass that left me facing the turn I had just screwed up on. The rest of the day was GREAT!!!!!!!

Next year I may go down a class to benefit from following drivers running closer to my speed.

Wish I could make MSR 4 in October, but I have a baby due on Halloween, so I bet I miss it.

That's freakin' fast. My best lap time last year was a mid 1:38.

Congrats in advance on the kiddo, Sharpie!
