I think we made some of the track's in Jim's video . . . or maybe we made some ourselves.

Jim, your first run sounded fantastic.  Sounded like some pedaling on the second run.  I was just glad it didn't go around.  Not insinuating that it would or has a tendency to but the course was so bad and roadsters being roadster... well, you know.

Nathan, Tony said it required his attention but he never felt it was getting out of hand. To quote "it has been a lot worse". We were only spinning the tires 6 mph in the lights.

I knew you had spun but I wasn't going to rat on you.

[Stan Back]

Come on, Nathan, 'fess up.  I was just talking to your dad on another matter . . .

Id much rather spin than keep my foot in it through the lights, the shut down area and out the back door

I wasn't sure if you were Willie or not. Yeah I'd say spinning worked out for you. Unlike the guy in the modified roadster who went out the back door and then some

Nathan was drifting, trying to dust of the track for those who followed 

[interested bystander]

     

     Pretty close to a ten, I'd say.

     Looks a bit more dramatic than the "turn out" the announcer told the crewman when he asked for the time slip!

[SPARKY]

on second look it seems more like a case of circular braking to me
