Sacramento N.O. ??

There were indeed a couple things to chuckle about at this event making a tough day seem just a shade more interesting:

1. A racer forgot to turn off his BBQ grill and it caught on fire in the middle of the night. I had never actually seen a propane can burst into flames until this fiasco started. The flames were causing melting droplets of plastic to ignite both the dry grass and the fake astroturf he had under the grill. The real scary part was that my truck was parked near them and I had about 8 cans of VP C11 in the back seat. What a rocket ship that would have created!!

2. There were very few reports of qualifying or eliminations including the finals. We learned of the results on Facebook from Jared Jordan and Pete Lanciers who were not at the race....but sitting on a beach in Maui. Some part of me just thought that was hilarious!

3. My final thought is....regardless of the conditions at the facility the racers still performed as racers do. The good ones were still very good....the rest of us who contributed to the kitty.....well, you're welcome!
