Yes, Blown Inheritance is running Saturday, it's our last points race of the year, we are not in that battle but we hope to mess up things for the ones that are Smile

We will likely stay over for Sunday's TMCCC race to support Team DC on Sunday.

I was at the track briefly at the beginning of the Sunday TMCCC race and saw several DACC racers in attendance - how did you guys do?

This was a strange day for us. Two of us were running too fast for our class. The cooler dry air added to the confusion and ultimately caused the other Amigo to break out. Will we ever learn?
Quote of the day: "If I knew an LS-3 was this powerful I would have never installed an LS-1" Spoken by the Fast Amigo midday.
