Very fun course, lots of speed and braking. I was trying to keep up with ya being that you were the only one in DSP. My best time today was 36.8. I can't wait to get some stickier tires.

Yeah I was very surprised at the car today. i was really working that suspension out and things just fell into place. I would say concentrate on handling and tires

2 days of sun and fun

Sunday's course was another great lesson in looking ahead and learning how to break

for some reason i could only come down tenths of a second once in the 37's but that is okay

out of 5 in SM I finally came in 3rd both days

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

Are these events also at the Hernando county airport? What's the best way to get there from Tampa? Mapquest said to take the Veterans north untill the spring hill exit.

That is correct, veterans to the spring hill drive exit, make a right then go straight to US41, make another right, and the hernando airport entrance will be on your right hand side a couple of mile on the right.

Depending on what part of Tampa you are coming from, you can also take US41 north.

I really liked the a-to-b style course layout—it worked well and let the designers use the entire runway width. The whole event seemed to run smoothly, so I'm looking forward to running that way again. 6 runs Sunday and someone said the folks on Sat. had 10?! I've gotta start going both days!

I had a great time, despite the fact I couldn't break 38 seconds on my all-season road tires. I know I was overdriving in a few spots, at least...
