I'll be happy to stay in line (just at the front of it). It's supposed to rain, right?

Apparently my rain dance is working. It's about the only hope I have to make up for being just a little underpowered. And hey, I may actually out qualify the guy in the coconut bra for a change. See Matt all I needed was rain, rain tires for me and no rains for you. Oh, and that pesky wreck thing which put you in a car in a slower class. But other than that, it's all talent!

What an ugly weekend both on and off the track. Saturday was steady rain ALL DAY LONG!!! Sunday's race was dry but the racing itself wasn't exactly stellar. I started DFL due to mechanical issues. I saw a huge mess at the start but was so far back that I don't know anything about the particulars. The yellow Rabbit was apaprently on two wheels driving OVER an RX7 but when I arrived on the scene the only thing left was an orange Volvo with left-side damage including a shattered LR quarter glass. Turn 1 wasn't much better when the ITA leader took out the ITB leader leaving the Alfa stuck on the embankment.
Matt is quite pleased b/c I wasn't able to catch up with him so he beat me for once. He was also gloating about out-qualifying me but my car wouldn't rev over 4500 rpms and I parked it after 2 laps. Of course, it the car I was driving drove from the other end and wasn't 33 yrs old, I might have had a better chance. I was able to pass a couple of ITB cars however including the white 8v Golf (albeit with rookie stripes).
Next year, the General Li will race again...

Marshall, sorry about what seemed to be a not so good weekend, but I guess congrats on the Championship.
Comon up to the Ledges this weekend I think you will have some competition. Ted G will be here and a bunch of fast guys. Should be 1 hell of a weekend.

All I needed was a few dns's some dnf's and a big wreck on turn one of the first lap to get three hundred marrs points. So what I'm still fourth in points. All that aside I went for the unexpected and that's what I got. What a blast!!!!!!!!!! CONGATULATIONS MARK CARPENTER on your first win. And many more.Originally posted by Matt Rowe@Oct 7 2005, 10:44 AM

Hey Mark, take it anyway you can get it. A win is a win. I was giving it everything it had to catch you. Ripping the teeth off that OPM gear at marrs 8 did me in. Lots of fun was had anyway. We had a good time in spite of the weather. Well maybe your Dad would disagree. I hope he's dried out by now. Put those stickers on there next year. More cars means more fun and excitement.Originally posted by Racerboy03@Oct 11 2005, 07:21 PM
Thanks Brad! As always, it was fun being paddocked next to you guys, even if it rained all day saturday I still enjoyed myself. It was my first time on a track in the rain on saturday for qualifying, and what a blast! It helps to have good Dirt Stockers, but I learned a lot about running in the rain in those two sessions. I also found out I REALLY need to put the heater/defroster controls back in the car for days like this, I couldnt see much after a few laps.
It's a shame what happened at the start of the race on sunday. I knew Greg would be faster then me, so my original plan for the race was to get behind him and try and keep up, I would have been happy with 2nd and the blue crx in sights through my windshield. Instead, I went from like 3 wide in T1, in about 4th place to 1st and in the clear in about 20 feet. Looked like Greg got in too hot and lost the rear end on cold tires, and the rest is history, I missed the spinning Alfa by about a foot and cruised from there, didnt really push 10/10ths trying not to make a mistake in traffic. As John put it in impound after the race "I pulled a rabbit out of my ass today!" LOL, couldnt agree more, but I was thrilled to win for the first time!
Oh and Brad, your welcome for the points, I really need to put those decals on my car LOL.
