You had to be able to drive in any weather this year to take the class.

Sorry I didn't get to meet everyone. This event was a bit overwhelming for me since it's my first time out here and I agreed to be a timing captain and have been sort of job shadowing all the afternoon heats. If you're still around and you see me puttering by feel free to stop me and chat. I tried to stop by everyone in grid and say good luck on Tuesday but I only made it about 20 cars in before we started rolling. Just wayyyyyy too many people in C-street this year.

Man what a rough couple of days for my co-driver and I.

The mid-season alignment and setup changes I did to the car DID NOT work at all for Lincoln (but it was good at home). Day 1 we could not put down power and the rear end was all over the place, so ugly :(

Made a couple desperate changes for day 2 and it was easier to drive, but still off a bit. My co-driver put down the 13th fastest time on day 2 and I was right there, but unfortunately coned every run, sigh.

Definitely a learning experience, the car was good at Spring Nats and I was competitive right at the top, I shouldn't have changed much with the car doh.

Anyways, it was great meeting all of you guys that I did get to see! Time to start getting ready for Solo Nats 2017 :)

Can't put down power because of what?

Hey Mike you should definitely toot your own horn a bit, coming in 4th in that group of guys is awesome, many national champs in there.

I didn't drive great and also left the TC on my first West run. I looked at the data and did different sections well each run but couldn't put it all together. It was a fun experience overall though. Wilcox is a hell of a four square player as well, we played for like three hours on Wed night.

Because of no traction on the rear tires. Every time we got on the gas the rear end just let loose and would come around.

I think he's talking about what alignment settings were causing the issue specifically. I had some issues on the West course coming out of a couple sweepers but that was mainly user error. It's the first time I've raced the car on concrete and it didn't have nearly the grip I was expecting vs. the local asphalt courses.
