Yeah, I ran on Saturday but not Sunday. I was very surprised at how
inconsistently the truck ran. First run was an all time worse of 15.6!
That wasn't too bad considering how bad the humidity was but I was
expecting more. But by the time I finished up I ran a best of 15.08.
The 15.08 came on the third round of eliminations. I dialed a 15.25
(I had just run a 15.29 and just knew she was dialed in to kill) I
lined up against a yellow Dak with an identical dial in. I knew I
needed to win this one at the tree and I did, and by the time I got
near the finish line I was about 3 truck lengths ahead. So I hit
the brakes at the top of the run but just didn't hit them hard
enough I guess. That run would have been a solid 14.9X and maybe a
bit faster. Finally that was the kind of numbers I was expecting.
Hey, if I have to loose I'd rather loose because I'm too fast!

Bernd I was impressed with how you were running! Some nice cold
weather and the 50 shot and you should be in mid 15's with little
difficulty. For a sixer with big tires and all jacked up that is
incredible!!
I also want to thank Gene and Renee for all the work they did to pull
this off you guys are great! I didn't get around to meeting many of
the new guys but there's always next year.
Will: I knew you would take home a trophy.
Richard: You also won a trophy?
