Jerm was texting me about the rain as I sat at the Havard Gardens in Boston enjoying dinner and cooler weather

Happy to hear everyone had a nice time. Barry that is great about the discount to those who weren't able to run due to the rain.

Good to hear about the Lemons car as well taking on the rain. Always good to know what the car will and won't do before you take on a race.

I don't know how much of the course had changed from our Saturday set up but I do agree with Keith's comments from what I played around with on Saturday.

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.

Thanks for the video, Dennis.
There were 2 parts of that course that I never figured out. I think Keith mentioned something earlier about it having tricky parts.

Dennis, you think it was weird not spinning out, I was wearing a name tag that said "spin out" right on it.
