Texas in the wet.....now 2nd overall
well today really went well for us.... It was supposed to be a road corse then drag day... BUT.. its Dumped on us all day.... so the drag strip got canceled and both road course events at TWS were in the rain...
we got decent sleep last night and woke up to a down poor..... we were lucky to get one of the last garage spots at TWS that wasn't flooded.... we unpacked and disconnected the swaybars.. THANKS DONNIE... he is gettin pretty good at the swaybar disconnects and reconnects...... profeshen-ALE....
it stopped raining about 30min before we were supposed to go out.... and the track conditions were good.... wet.. but good.... BUT.. the ambulance hadn't shown up yet.. so we waited.. and waited.. and finaly they came.. juuuust in time to let the first run group run and let it start raining for our group.... but whatever.. thats onelap.... we went and it was pretty wild.... lotsa big moments.... I ended up 7th for the session....
the 2nd session... was better for us.. as the track conditions were consistent for everyone... RAIN.. and lots of it... i hit a water puddle on the warm up lap and it bogged the car down!...... i went out in the 2nd group again.... the Viper cleaned up everyone.. but it was a good battle for 2nd...... Me.. Davia.. and Stewart all were within 2 sec of each other.. over a 4minute 30 sec run..... we were 4th overall this session... right behind davia.. and Stewart..... this was a craaazy drive.. and we were all just happy to be alive.... Popp did horrible.. and the black leingenfelter vette did bad also....
So what coulda been pretty bad... a track ive never been to in the dry.. and a drag race... turned into pretty dang good....
we are now 2nd overall.... and pretty happy about that... knowing that Davia is having some ECU troubles and a DNF for him is possible in the future....
The viper will most likely pass us after tomorrow in the overall standings.... but now we really hafta try hard to hold off some of the other cars coming up.... like the GT3 of ian... and im sure Popp is gona come storming back...... we have No problem tom.. and this shoulnt hurt us to bad because its not much of a HP track......
another BIG plus..... because the drag was canceled.. we got to head to the hotels early... so plenty of sleep tonight...!!!!! also had a Filet at OUTBACK...
