Those sensors can normally stand a chomp from a Great White shark. Must have been quite a moment.

We all have "DUH" moments, but it usually takes less than 7 years in open cockpit cars for that moment to arrive on most people's doorstep. I just don't like to rush into things.

FYI...I've been buying a WHOLE LOT LESS tear-offs for my helmet this season.

Duh.

Glad I could contribute to lowering SOMEONE'S racing budget in some small way. But I bet you found a way to waste those funds on something useless, like food or housing instead of racing.

Mark: Congrats on the top ten finish and thanks for the write-up, it was a great read. I do want to know why the car doesn't have a bunny decal on the front, it seems it should.

Mark, thanks for the race report, actually the event report. I enjoyed reading it a lot.

Very well written. It was nice to see inside the racer's mind and the behind the scenes. I have to say the story was so well written that I felt like I was right there with you. Thank you.
