Post race report: I had three goals for the race. One, set a new personal best, two, find someone near me in pace to dice with, three, move up from my qualy position.

Done, done, and done. I actually took two seconds off my qualifying time during the race, moved up nine positions overall, and had a great duel with a Miata where we passed each other back and forth a few times before Red pulled away.

Congrats Rasta!! You've achieved what all of us little guys who always make up the numbers at racemeets would wish for......a fun day, an adrenalin rush, and something to yap about at the end of the day when the post mortems are undertaken over a cold ale.. or two!

Living the dream Rasta! Most people don't appreciate the amount of effort required to have a little fun at the track. It's all worth it though!
