I'm going to Pitt.  Still on the entry list, must have just missed me!  Easy to do, big white blank space where most people type in a sponsor 

Dude, were looking at different entry lists.

Funny, I was excercising the same self control after your post about a 1.6 winning.

Lol so true it's funny

I presume "The Tech-Shed" is secretly a fraternity full of smiles? Whoever has the best music and air guitar wins the "The Tech Shed" award?

Thanks St Louis for combining registration and express tech. One-stop, no paper tech sheet. Noice.

Jim and Max had a great race and Tom, Jesse and Steve also had a great race until something bummed Steve.

 

Question, did the 00 and 99 car make gains on the oval or?

[Tom Scheifler]

Congrats to Jim for the Saturday win and to Max for a new track record. Those two guys can drive!

Jesse and I had a good race but Steve got in the way so I had to help him out of the way. Actually his car setup was wrong so it was really just a mercy killing. If Jesse had a bit more power it would have been a fair fight.

Don't know about the 99s on the oval. Never close enough to gauge. Jim and Max hooked up from the start and gapped the rest.

[Steve Scheifler]

Nice job Jim & Max! Jesse was carving up the infield while I was trying to push my way through the lefts, worse every lap till Tom knocked my rear bumper nearly off to give me an excuse to get the meat ball. From earlier sessions it seems we can just hold a draft with the 99s here, but they can easily draft-pass us, as we could Jesse. He needs our engine, and we need to make up the torque deficit by doing better on the infield. One advantage we should have, brakes, really doesn't come into play here.

Damn, you guys are going fast. Nice job!

[Steve Scheifler]

Hey Jarrod, time to get back into the madness!

[Jesse Prather]

Damn now I'm getting the bug. Might be time to get some ponies out of this girl.
Great clean racing today. Really enjoying these cars and the premier driving it takes to go fast. Thanks to Tom and Steve for the great race!
Let's do it again tomorrow!
