Did I just hear you say that?!
Awesome job to Dean and Matt and Patty and Carrie, running on street tires on this 80+ second course! While I was awarded the top ladies pax (because LV was not including our street tire modifier), I think once again Patty beats me with the street tire pax. I had times in the 84's both days, but dirty. And with both of those times, I hit those cones early in the run, then thought ("doesn't matter now") and went for banzai runs. Those were the best runs of the weekend for me! (Well, except for when Rachel got her one & only clean run.
)
Rachel and I worked corner 6 out in the triangle -- we had a snake, red ants and bees at our station, saw a few people into the dirt (the DSPL car that Nick & Matt also pushed out before the kart went in on Sunday; along with a Miata that backed into the dirt but got himself out) -- got a little sunburned, came home with multiple event shirts due to LVR's ability to upsell; made some new friends; and can't wait till we do it again.
And truly, great job to Reno Region for bringing it home again! -- despite not being able to claim street tyre pax for Reno drivers -- and despite the LV Region bringing 3 fast F125 drivers who took the top 3 pax spots today.
