Good morning. I'm outta there - Tom Russell sawed down the tree with a .001 light and from that point on I was pretty much toast in round 1. Hopefully one of the remaining racers will pick up the at track reporting for Sunday while I put away all the race car stuff and then head to the pool.

Fuel economy reports - I had a tail wind heading to Columbus and got 11 MPG on the first leg - towing at a speed mix of 55-65 MPH. Last night on the return trip I was running into a head and cross wind and running at 63-68 MPH and logged a 9.4 MPG.

But what really felt great was the way the engine pulled up hills and inclines with the feel of a diesel. I'm loving it!

Seemed like a lot of "Broke" (or I'm only here to get a grading point so I can go camp and party at Indy) singles. Will have to check the round 1 results to confirm.
