ok, here's the summary...
It was cold. It was rainy. Did i mention it was cold? I did pretty well i guess. Some tread on the rear tires would have helped out a lot. The first run i spun out twice, so I went back to the pits and put my rear struts on full soft. That setting definitely helped out a lot, but I still ended up spinning out on the last run--which would have been the fastest b/c it was at the end. My best run was a 68.1 which will get me about a top 10 i believe, or maybe a top 5. No one from tidewater (and on the board) showed up, but i seen a few others from the board out there. During the 2nd out of 2 heats, it also started to snow. I was beginning to wonder how I was standing up b/c half way threw, i couldn't feel my feet when i was working. ah well, it was still fun.

. Thanks for the heads up on the diff, BTW.It was cold and rainy for the Evolution School as well, but like those of you who attended the VMSC event, fun was had by all (we didn't get any snow though, but it sure felt cold enough to snow
!!). At least Sat was bright and sunny.

whoo hoo! I had mad fun even though i didnt get the greatest times ever i think i did ok my first time ever doing one of these things. i also spun out my last run or i would have had about 4 sec better off my last time, i still improved by roughly 14 sec from my first to fourth run though so whatever....sorry i couldnt meet anyone i think we were all stuffed in our cars trying to keep warm or in that cold crap on the course.
