Sprint

Sucks when the fast guys show up at a horsepower track. Not sure what happened here but I completely forgot to turn on the camera for the feature race. I had fun chasing but in the end, the horsepower won. I finished 6th overall and 2nd in class behind John Dimoff. Not too bad but I was sadly pining for my new motor...

Enduro

This was another race from Hell. Treacherous wet conditions with almost no visibility.

I had a pretty good start and took advantage of the fight going on between John Dimoff and Asher Hyman. Coming out of the last corner I took an inside line and walked past both of them. Now that I could see, I opened up a big lead for the first half of the race. Eventually my window fogged up beyond what I could deal with so I took my pit stop. 

After the pit stop the conditions had worsened and I wasn't able to keep up the same pace. My older Hoosiers couldn't cope and I still couldn't see where I was going. Several times coming out of the boot I misjudged my brake point and drove right off the track. Luckily that's paved so I didn't lose much time. Initially I finished 4th ans 2nd in class behind John Hansen. Unfortunately for John, he had passed John Dimoff illegally in the bus stop and was penalized one position. So I won my class in the end.
