Nice track, we couldn't hit our backside with a broom, others had it figured. Renee fast as usual. Heat one, Eric and Ronnie hooked side panels, Ronnie slapped the wall, pipe came loose. Second heat a free for all, Ronnie and Renee got together, Eric , with no place to go, punched Renee, bent her left front frame, blew a hole in our nose big enough to throw a soccer ball through . Renee won main, Ronnie lost a base gasket, Eric third through pure luck, Chriss didn't finish, ( Chris had a trying day like we did). Nine cars in UAS, only 5-6 finished main. Cold, windy, miserable weather, good fellowship and nicely run event saved the day as usual. See everyone Friday!

Renee qualified @ 10.93 and we sucked @ 11.19 before making adjustments.. laps 8 and 9 in the main had us turning high 10.5's to low 10.6's and a quick mention.. BRC won the second heat.. caught Renee in the main about half way through the race.. pushed out a base gasket and lost some water.. had to pull off.. fun day though!! We got the chassis/tires sorted out yesterday.. should be a hoot on the 21st.. Attachments:

Great news on the kart count, Renee is always fast, does anyone know her lap times?? Tires and setup will change as the track does on race day... can't wait for the 20th to do some testing..

Right on Ken, it looks like the lap times should be in the high to med 9: sec range at the BK4 then

Ken, I'm sure if you would have asked Renee to see her tach, you would have seen something close to that then ;D

I still say more than 1 Driver will get in the high 9's, maybe not during qualifying but for sure in the "A".
