Keith I really should of run faster at beave Run. Owner wanted to drive first round, well he spun. But when we were testing there a month ago they had the plastic post's at the curbing and didnt have them for OLOA. It really kinda threw me off. Keith sub 1:00 min lap for the top car (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Keith I guess I cant complain with my lap times for Beave for just one time trial. I averaged 1.08's including a standing start. SO I did have an decrease of my lap times over what you timed me. A half a second would of made a 5-6 better finishing postion. The field where I was running was tight in there lap times.
Owner finally told me on the last run for the wk, I could wad the car up into a big ball and not have to worry about the bill........... I wish I would of know this earlier in the wk. I would of treid some more stuff. John This post has been edited by Ojustracing: May 12 2008, 01:32 PM |
