 |
| Rain on grid for the first class race - and we're all on dry tires! | Taking the green - it's sunny, but still damp | By the end of the race we were in full dry conditions. |
 |
 |
 |
| Gregg got to take his TA out for lapping, with Brian along for coaching | At long last... | The jury's still out on whether or not this was a good idea: best lap time yet, and put it in the wall too. |
 |
 |
 |
| Gregg, care to accept a friendly wager? | Alex talks his way into a ride to the grid on Daddy's lap | Careful planning and procedures are the best way to ensure success! |
 |
 |
 |
| I'm not sure if Merritt was trying to show off the helmet paint job, the ISAAC device, or other hardware... | ||

 |
 |
| Doug works his way into the lead, if only briefly! | Chasing Doug down after putting a few wheels off | |
 |
 |
 |
| And that's about how we finished - 0.1 seconds apart | Nothing like some stiff competition! | |

 |
| Alex catches some Z's | ||

 |
| Thanks to a better performance in the 2nd Class Race, we're sitting on the front row for the Feature Race | ||
 |
 |
 |
| We get a sticker for each win... | One last beauty shot before the storm | |

| Closing up for the start | Taking the green flag for the start of the Feature | Hanging on to my lead, but Doug puts up a stiff fight |

 |
| Recovering from hitting the tire wall at 72 mph, two laps left in the race | The cars behind have some loose tires to dodge! | Yeah, I'm OK... |
 |
 |
 |
| ...just PO'd!! | Checking out the damage | Driving it in at the end of the race |
 |
 |
 |
| Slight denting here | No damage here | Kinda ugly here, but not too bad |
 |
 |
 |
| This is what took the brunt of the hit | A-arm and swaybar endlink are bent, and the brake caliper is broken (not visible here) | |
 |
 |
 |
| Ok, just hold it right there... | ...and give it a big whack! | The front-left light... survived with little damage! Tough cars, these... |

| Still managed to drive it onto the trailer... | ||
