Way to go Blackflag!! You've definitely been working hard to get the awesome reactions and near perfect runs, keep it up.

Thanks guys!

Had a blast at the race. Gonna take a week or two off, then get back to practicing for Bowling Green.

May try a set of 20" drag radials out, but hate to mess with the car since its running close to the index.

Josh - With the way you are running, I would not mess with it too much. You did a great job. Congrats again!

Here is a video of our run:

Thanks man. I thought that I lost that race for sure. My car felt like it was on a .70 pass.

I don't want to mess with the car much. But my 60' has been moving around from 2.0-2.2 depending on my burnout etc. So trying to tighten that up a little.

Here is the view from inside my car.

When you passed me I thought it was all over because my car felt slow and had some heat in it. So it caught me off guard when I heard them announce it on the video.

Yeah did he break out?

Yeah, we both broke out on that pass. He passed me and I chased all the way through the lights.

I'm going to check this out Quick. Thanks for the heads-up. I was gonna try the Nittos or the MT ET Radials.

Yes, I should have dragged the brake in addition to letting off the gas. I even did a lousy burnout on purpose to slow the car down after I broke out in the first round.

Mr. Calabrese gave me a good lecture when I got back into the pits that will help me next time.

Regardless, Josh deserves the credit for the win and for being so consistent.

Thanks Tim. Last weekend was my fifth race ever, so I'm learning as I go

Parctice, practice, and more practice!!!

Happy 4th of July to all my fellow event and 5th Gen enthusiasts.

I like so say how pleased I was with the Atlanta show and give my thanks to all the people I had linked up with.

The support and friendly manor to me and my family was greatly appreciated.

I unfortunately did not get to spend the time that I would have liked with each of you, due to me still being new to the sport and being 'in the zone'-alot of personal expectations to meet.

A special shout out at this event to Andrew(Acowherd) and Padre for their local pit hospitality. Was great talking to many new others-putting a face to the Usr name. Sorry I missed a few also that was there-hopefully at next LSX.

Still swamped at work- not any time for camera editing- but attached below are a few pics pulled out of the lot.

Thanks again- it was an honor to be and race with you all.

Take care,

Tim
