Right now it looks like the weather is going to cooperate.... so it appears that this event is a go! All forecasts show partly cloudy with no more than 25% chance of precipitation, temps in the 60's.... good air for racing, I hope we have traction!

anyone else coming out?

after baking in the sun all day, most of the group over at Bremerton was exhausted and just went home. I towed over to XXX and got there around 6:40... I got out of the track late, guess you guys had already taken off when I got there...


at the track I got in only 3 passes, it was packed. there were a total of 7 Rx7's at the track, 2 FDs, 4FCs, 1 FB... 4 were making passes- the FB was doing wheelies, an FD running low 12s, one FC in the 10's, and mine running 11.60's.

my passes were 11.743 @ 115.99mph, 11.754 @ 115.74mph, and my car then pulled off its best pass ever: 11.628 @117.01mph! I guess my car was so excited that it wet itself- after my 3rd pass, my diff started pissing gear oil... so my day was over either way. I'm really glad I brought the truck & trailer.

I'll post a few pics later...

That was me. Saw you pull in, then thought I saw you leave right away. Me and my buddy grabbed some food and ate, then right after we finished saw you actually leave.

I was there from like 5:50 to 6:15. I would have said hay but I didn't who you where. I had a guess.
