    Young-un... :)

    Had a GREAT TIME, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE INVITE AND HOSPITALITY!! Couldn't have asked for a better day.

    P.S. A Huggge thanks to Sam Fugate who took the extra time to take me and Todd Waldrup out and show us the correct line. I cut my time down 2 seconds (considering it's my virgin weekend, a 1:07 - for me not bad).

    What we did: Sam rode 3 laps correct line and we came in. Then I rode 3 laps with Sam following (riding the correct line) so Todd could see what I was doing vs. what I SHOULD be doing; pitted and talked. Then Todd rode 3 laps same thing then pitted/talked. That way we didn't get tired, and we had a chance to review every 3 laps. It helped my find a bunch of reference points and his preferred line.

    Hey Keith.....just so you know, Peggy turned a 1:07 at Tally a few years back. Trevor even made an announcement in the morning meeting about it........so you've still got some work to do!




















    (Actually, she ran off track coming through the bowl, went across the grass, and came back on track around T4.....totally missing T3. She came in and told me to check her lap timer. I was like..WTF!

    Humm...skipping corners by cutting across...Hadn't thought of that! :) Although, it DOES remind me of murder carts....

    And the really funny part was that Mike Lindsay and Charlie West had passed her on the short straight coming into T2, then all of a sudden they find her in front of them again going down the straight and into the farmhouse turn. They were like....WTF, we already passed her....how did she get in front of us again!
