I really think some drivers thought we were running two skid pads, one at the end of front straight and a slightly longer one about two miles long!!

Sunday afternoon dried up in time for one last run before going home.

Thanks to all for the well done hard work this weekend.

Yes, car ran well whenever the rain stopped. Added a fuel gauge to take some of the guess work about gas out. No more gas problems. The scavenge system of a 3 check valve box, second fuel pump and flooded secondary fuel cell system can drain the main tank to dribbs and the motor never misses a beat.

I think you blew past me on the main straight when you were out doing "taste of the track" on Sunday. It was just a white blur going by....

Yeah...just checked my video. It was you.
