Weather turned out good. There wasnt a lot of cars in each group. Not as much participation as I thought there would be. Really wish I could have had my car done.
I believe Jake went a best of 9.3@166 or so and there were two other cars, the exospeed and another hatch that went 9.7X@154 or so. Other than that there was just average cars out there and not a whole lot of them. The right lane seemed really really slick while the left lane seemed to hook well until just after the 1/8th. Jakes car caught well in 1st and 2nd then towards end of third and into 4th he kept getting loose. So track prep was not all there. It was cold and nice crosswind as well.
Congrats to the winners and to those who came out. The carshow had a lot of people in it and some pretty nice cars. Definitely need more participation at the Tucson event next year.

Final round was Jake Blackman (Indub) vs. Aaron Teague (Full-Race Aaron, TSR Aaron, Pineapple Sports, Half-Race, etc) Aaron crossed the line first while Jake was pedaling the car with a severly slipping clutch.. I have a GoPro video from Jakes car that I'll post as soon as I can..
Congrats to all the winners, wish I would have been racing too!

Had a good time this weekend. Track conditions werent thw best but everyone did what they can to get thru the day. Fighting against the track makes for a rough day even for the best of drivers and cars..
