Jim when I picked up the car today. Some guy asked me, how many of those darn Neons I had in that trailer? He said every time he looked at the track there was a neon going down it. LOL. I told him he would have seen more if I didn't get a flat on the truck on the way down, plus they shut it down for 45 minutes to re-prep the starting line.
I only got 9 runs in that day. Wait it was actually 10. LOL
I used almost 5 gallons of C12

From what I heard you were about the only one who could hook on that track. Glad I went to the PRI instead! Jim

The scheduling conflict with the PRI Show made this difficult for me, because the original timeline for the Combo on Saturday showed NO time-trials, just first round at 0900. I had decided to do the show on Thursday and the race on Friday and Saturday, which was easier for me at the time. I would have preferred all three days at Gainesville, but this was my first (and now last) PRI at Orlando. I wish I had more time to visit with everyone.

Not really sure why the 'wagon didn't run better, but I'll figure that out next year. Changed a few things for this race and they didn't work! I hadn't been to Gainesville in 22 years, so I was looking forward to actually racing here. The event staff seemed to spend a great deal of time prepping the track, and I know most of the high-horsepower cars had traction issues, but it wasn't because the crew didn't make an effort.

I had a great time! The 1400 mile round-trip will finish on Tuesday (I hope!), and other than some aggravating issues with the Suburban, it's been uneventful. I must be a glutton for punishment, but I'm looking forward to doing this again in the not-too-distant future.

Lew, Didn't see you had called until yesterday! Sorry! I left PRI at 3:30 on Thursday. Was there early and had enough fun for one day. Sorry you couldn't make the dinner Friday night. We had right at 30 people this year. Jim
