Default First Race of the season

Hi guys,

the race report for my first race of the season is up on the website. Car is now damaged pretty bad, but being repaired. We don't know how long yet, as some parts are weeks away. But we're optimistic!

Actually, it was 1:58.9! I know it's only 1/10 but it's in 1:58. Hopefully I can do even better next time, considering this is first time out with this configuration.

I crashed my own S several years ago with almost identical damage. With a lot of work and consulting from Blacktrax, it was restored to new condition, including suspension geometry. You guys can do it!

Sorry to hear about the crash, that sucks. It sounds like you found some serious speed and you have a promising season ahead though! Good luck with the rebuild and hopefully it comes away better than before!

Glad you are OK and the car can be fixed. I read the write up on your web page, nice battle on Saturday!! Sunday not so much. Sounds like you need to keep in the S2000 for the Run Offs based on running down the entire field from last place all the way to the front in 9 laps.

We don't get rain a lot here. In the attempt to save money, we run street tires that I have sitting around.
I have no one to point finger at but me. It was my own stupidity. I took a chance and paying for it.
Trust me, I won't make the same mistake again.
