Well I did not calculate fuel in the first race and had to settle for P3. Got a lightning start both times and was expecting Dave to be glued to my bumper, but it was not to be for some reason. Tried to save late but it was too late and had to make a stop. Forgot to turn off damage and waited 20 seconds for damage to be repaired. So P3 in the first race.
In the second race another lightning start and was short shifting from the first turn and using 2nd gear in all slow corners to conserve fuel. On the last lap I let Carlos by because I was still conserving fuel. Then exiting the last corner I saw him shoot into the pits and I pushed in the clutch and coasted dumped the clutch and crossed the line with .1 gallons left to finish in P1.
These cars are a blast to drive and I look forward to running them over the summer !!!!

Well this race reinforced what I always knew. The best drivers will always rise to the top when all things are equal. FYI Ced, the gas thing sure added some drama. I liked it even though I gambled and lost. Congrats to John and to Scott. Scott gambled and won. See y'all at Long Beach. Loved the Capt's car.

I want to thank you for letting me race in your club. The racing was very fun, and to race to second place in both races was very exciting. The winners in both of the races, S Leon and John were very correct in their fuel management. Thank you very much. Ciao, Carlos

Well the Ford boys worked on the clutch and gave me a rocket ship off the line. Both races made up a butt load of spots and sorry for tapping John on one of the starts. The other start I threw it away with too heavy of a foot out of the corner and Sandy helped me out of the way...lol. I was already sideways when he got me and I was laughing saying, "yeah I deserved that for stuffing the car in there for the pass"
Great race everyone. looking forward to round two.

Sounds like we missed a really good one...
I'm sweating my little Weasel ... Tail off here ... Sunday we ended up working until midnight thirty... I had planned to join in and watch but didn't get out of the RTC in time.
Should be home in plenty of time for round two.
