Meh... I was a 1/4 second behind Washburn (and a half second ahead of Hollis) on Day 1. I just didn't drive worth a **** on Sunday.

Besides, with our first kid due in a couple of weeks I'll have to make do with what I've got, unless someone decides to give me a big pot of money.

Mark, when are you finally bringing the car down to Texas?

Video from Day 1: http://vimeo.com/10571865

Video from Day 2 (unedited, first couple of minutes are Steve Hudson's DP car getting pushed off course): http://vimeo.com/10572147

Overall, two of the best National Tour courses I've ever run. They were long, fast, and they flowed well, but were technical enough to really reward car placement and looking ahead to read the course.

if it makes you feel any better I got whooped by ST on Sunday too of course it was the first event ever on an untested setup, which frankly wasn't that bad balance wise, and also my first time on course since Nats. Different tires and springs were put on afterward and will be untested for San Diego. I expect to get whooped pretty good there too by Berry et al and will hopefully improve some by El Toro. I tow the car to Texas from there, where I'll finally be able to start testing and dialing it in better. First trip to TX is this weekend just to move all the tools and car parts into storage. Car stays here for the Cali events, turning right around and driving back to the west coast on Monday.
