Aftermath

Well it has been a week and I am still decompressing from the weekend - I am sure many are wondering how I did and the short answer is as good as can be expected, but not as good as I could have.  I had some funny things go wrong - nothing I put together and the race was a typical NARRC Rainoffs, after beautiful weather was predicted for both days, we had on and off sprinkles just before and after the race.  It made for some interesting tire choices, but in the end we all went out on slicks.

I will fill in more of the race story but just to show you how strange it was - in 37 years of racing I have NEVER had this happen - the tach needle broke.  Not fall off, which has happened, or even gotten stuck - this one broke off at the base.  Sorry for the picture, I will change it when I get the car out of the trailer.  If you look closely you can see the needle the bottom of the Tach.  So it made it a little tricky to see if I was making progress in the uphill, but then there was The tire - which I will tell you about next time.....
