    I should be there. I want to go to both the S2K event and the ER event. ER is the higher priority since I've never run a pro solo before.

    Are they using a Christmas Tree start this time?

    No. No Christmas Tree.

    In the Pro Solo when the light turns green the timer starts, whether your ready or not. You can go when the starter says so, but you won't be penalized if you don't. Just don't sit there too long.

    See ya this weekend. Rain Rain stay away!!!!!!

    Damn, I was hoping to practice with the tree.

    I hope to be out on Sunday, although house hunting now takes priority. If I make it I'll probably be in my car.

    I was hoping for the tree, too. That ProSolo christmas tree is pure EVIL!

    I don't usually complain about courses, but I'll have to agree with Jimmy "Old Bull" Stewart who said "That course is SUCKY!" Hopefully the ProSolo layout will flow a bit better.

    I agree, but since it was my first pro solo type event I was just having too much fun with the drag start and racing next to someone.

    Hopefully the pro course in May will flow better. I can't wait!

    That course sucked nuts.

    Of course, I might also be bitter about the fact that we finally wrapped up the trophy presentation at 7pm. Not one of ER's finer efforts yesterday. Hopefully the Pro goes a little more smoothly.

    I had fun running against POS in C stock, where we had a tight battle going all day long. Apparently POS did some drag racing back in the day, and he beat me up the straight on every run. I managed to beat him in the regular runs by a little less than a tenth, but he came back and walloped me during the PAX runs to finish in the money (I finished 22nd ). Congrats, POS!

    Watching miatamoto and mark52 duke it out in CSP was another highlight of the day. Watching the Maxcy's GT3 slaughter all of the other SS cars on the drag strip was fun. The rest was just a very long and tiring day.

    Thanks Sparky!

    The runs were fun the event was "meh". Sure seemed like if it could go wrong for ER it did yesterday.

    We understood "meh"...

    It was "The runs we fun the event" we're having problems with.
