Sacramento N.O. ??

Well I gotta tell you folks it was nowhere near perfect. The track was a challenge for many....not for me because I have about the same horsepower as a hair dryer so hook wasn't the problem. It was hot, dusty, and we were all frustrated by the presence of a large number of juniors.

The pits still suck at Sac....as they have for 50 years. Unfortunately, many if not most of the better pit spots were given to the juniors. Once again, I wound up in the dirt where I have been nearly every time I have raced Sac....mostly because I cannot seem to get there before race day.

All in all it was a tough weekend....but the racing was still awesome. Tony Hewes qualified #1 both days and laid down a .025 package to end our day on Saturday. I was driving like a complete idiot(although hampered by a bad converter) and actually won three rounds with lights >.100 only to drop to dead 2, dead 5, and dead8 in three consecutive rounds. As they all say I'd rather be lucky than good and I seemed to have that old wives tale tatooted on my head this race.

I was indeed disappointed with the facility since I had been told of a lot of improvements to the surface, timing, parking, etc.....none of which I was able to witness personally.
