Sorry for the double post, but I wanted to put my thoughts in a separate post from the results for linking purposes.

The little timing booth we had set up was very nice. Nice breeze all day. I do apologize for the timing issues we had. After discussing it with Loren, it was probably an alignment issue with the beams. It is possible that a dead-killer alignment would have helped with the dust, but really there isn't much you can do with that style of lights. The old fashioned "run over" type would have probably worked better.

The starting line was killer... probably my favorite part of the whole course. There was a sort of crown as the entry gate transitioned to the banked corner. I'd do a nice launch and as soon as the front tires went over the lip, the backs got a huge power boost, then the fronts got more power as the backs went over. It felt like a huge power launch as I crossed that crowned section into the course.

Of course, I had a few nice drifts too , and the big curve on the back section was a little hairy as I could kick the back end out nice at about 60mph setting up for the corner to the infield.
