good, glad it isn't just me :-)
It was obvious from watching the cars with the best times that
screeching tire the entire way around the course is not the fastest way
around the track.  Gotta be smooth on the brakes leading up to your
corner then smooth on the gas at the apex, NOT foot flat to the floor,
swing the back end around, keep it planted and let the rubber fly all
the way to the next corner (but did I mention how much fun that was? :-)
)

I swear that cone was in love with your car.  Just kept jumpin' right
out to give the bumper a kiss.  Just keeping the corner workers on their
toes, right Nate? :-)

> Can't wait to do it all again in a week or so.

Hope I can be there, all depends on if I can swap out my head gasket in
time.  I'm tired of eating a quart of oil every 300 miles into cylinder
#1........  So is the guy that was behind me in the queue at the auto-x
