Friday at Mid O - Rain to Dry

Overall I would classify today as"uneventful" although it really didn't feel that way from where I was sitting. As the always helpful Koni staff member Jeff Smallwood said "Did you damage any cars? Ruin a set of tires? No? Then today was a good day."

I didn't think so when I was headed into the same tires Keith ran into yesterday. Thankfully I ended up getting the car turned a bit and missed them by about a foot. Then I did it again, different place. The car is fine, I'll be qualifying tomorrow.

This afternoon we alse had a tornado scare, the sky got black and green and coulds were spinning in a circle above us. The wind got crazy and we were all tying down our easy-ups and securing everything light. We took a few moments to watch the sky but the clouds moved on and blue sky prevailed. Keith was hoping for one that would pick up the Mustang so he could turn it in into his insurance.

Byron and I are still challenged by the Civic, but are making some progress. Neither of us could break out of the 1.40's. First session was heavy rain while I was in the car and stopping during Byron's stint, but never drying up. Even an hour later when the Rolex cars were out, it had not rained anymore, but was still very wet. We walked the whole track and watched them, which helped me learn the rain line better.

The second session of the day I made the mistake if pushing too hard and having some big offs. Unusually we finshed early and had time for a dinner out together. There aren't many dining options here in town, but it's beautiful, and a terribly fun track.
