congrats!
hope you attend as much as you can.
the last event i went to, I noticed that I ran alot slower when I "try to" run as fast as I can. I guess it really depends on the course. Ours was small
I didnt even get a chance to hit redline in 2nd.

I average about 1/10th to 1/2 second from my 1st and last run. But then again I get 1st anyway I am Mr. Consistent.

The funny thing is that when I crossed the finish on my first run I thought it was pretty good...no cones down...pretty high on the RPM throughout...pretty smooth. When I looked up and saw 67.142 I was like "whhhhhhhaaaaaa? how the hell are these people getting 55?" I thought I was doomed to suck at auto crossing. So I was happy when the times came down a bit
