NSHS 1

May 19th, 2012 · RaceCar

Morning test session I set a new personal best with a 12.36 @ 109.

Raced in three classes today.

Heavy Eliminator – Good run, but I lost by  .076 .
12.0 Index – Pro Tree . Won first  round by beating Norm.  Lost second round to Nab.  Nab won the class.
Pro Street -  Pro Tree. We qualified based on  reaction time, I was the number one qualifier. Lost to Norm in the first round.

Bring home two ancillary trophies.

I’ll post some pictures later, Ryan took 416 of them with my camera.  Now it’s time for a shower and [u]Steak & Tequila!

Had a great time.
