Wow ... that was fun! It was amazing to watch what Andy, Jason and other experienced S2K drivers can do with the car.

ps Andy, let me know if you ever want to come in and drive my car in any of the SLC events ... I need driving lessons!

Sorry, got home at 2am and made the mistake of coming in to work.
Course was pretty long for a Pro (all Stock classes were 40+ seconds), and was very transition intensive. Not a whole lot of choice on what line to take anywhere except the turn around which was evilly decreasing.
Temperatures were almost at or above 100 both days, which made tires and drivers overheat very easy. Compound the heat with a challenging course and it was very hard to get a good clean run. When the results come up you will see many cones in all classes. Hot tires made for loose handling on a course that penalized being off the tidy line. Many people chased setup due to conditions.
We had a good battle in BS and it really came down to who could get their good runs clean. Top three in BS were McKee, Saini, Fagundes.
It was interesting doing practice starts in the S2K's, since with the 4000' altitude and pretty grippy start area we had to do 8000rpm+ launches in order not to bog. During class competition it wasn't quite as bad, though I was still going at 7500rpm or so.
Notable data point from impound, Jason still gives up 70lbs to me.

Man, I'm sorry to hear about the truck, but believe me I know how they feel. My stupid wagon has left me stranded so many times I bring a set of street tires with me to long distance events. They should count their blessings it wasn't a terminal problem. Loosing a Dif and or a transmission pretty well means your driving the S home.
