Yep...Took a HOT shower & slept for 13 hrs.....
Wanted to get some pics, but was too miserable.
My Brother did really well except for a couple of mistakes.
2nd place ITB Saturday, finishing well behind someone who was obviously cheating. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
3rd place in the race Sunday except he was running out of gas and the car was getting fuel starved in turns 1-3 & the carousel.
This allowed the, then 3rd place car to catch up.
He then spun out at 13 (last corner last lap) after his shift knob came off in his hand.
He goofed up, over rev ed it, put it in 3rd & promptly did a really impressive snap spin. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif
3rd in the 2 hr. enduro.
He was 2nd until his front left pad wore down to the backing plate.
Then through the backing plate & was using the piston to slow the rotor. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif
This caused the piston to wobble & he lost his fluid.
Still had rears for a few laps until they boiled.
He came in w/ 3 min. to go and got passed in the pit.
All of these are amateur preparation mistakes.......They won't happen again.
(He was using stock pads, NOT Carbotech or Porterfield.....to save $$)
(as far a race #2........He forgot to fill the car w/ gas & the shift knob was just one of those things)
I came in 12 of 15 Saturday & 11 of 15 Sunday.
Didn't do the enduro.

I think if it was smoother it wouldn't freak me out so much.
Really don't like to be dialing in correction near the top of 4th.
They say if you can drive a live rear there.....
Other tracks will be easy.
Also it has 3 carousels......I hate carousels!
Oh well........Always next year.
(Although, I really kicked Mid-O butt this year) /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

You've somehow got our weather up there on Lakefront, Camshaft! It's been wet, windy and chilly here for the last few days. Spoke with a GOTL friend: "Sun's out, fishing boats on the water, 58° water temps..."

I TOLD Basil he messed with the space/time continuum the other day! See what happened??
