Richard,

You got one for race 1 and Adam got one for race 2, both E class racers. You guys both had tough weekends and had to battle through issues, but the passing was fantastic. I finally got a break this weekend, unlike COTA. You really showed up in the last sprint race though and I really had to lay down the times to keep you behind me. We ran five consecutive low 2:03s together in the first half of the second sprint race.

I'm going to TWS next year. Maybe, just maybe we can get the Texas 911's to come back to HPR?

Chad, congrats on the weekend. Besting Buckley's record is no small feat. It has been a dream of mine to beat Jim for many years, he's a great competitor, as are you.

I had a great time with Adam, in Sprint 1. It was extremely close racing, it was only with lapped traffic that I could open a gap. Its great to race so close and be confident that the other drivers are going to give racing room. He was inches off my bumper, filling my mirror. I had the advantage on the main straight, whereas I was losing out coming out of corners and the back section.

The last Sprint race was great also, I had hoped to be a little closer to you after the start, and could have used the draft down the main straight and into 4, which is how I got Adam. Wasn't to be though, I just couldn't get close enough for the tow. Again great job.

Sorry we couldn't stay for the awards, but we had to get home.

Hopefully I'll see you all at Hallett, unless of course I sell the car!

I'll go back to High Plains next year Chad! I had a great time. What a fantastic track. I just wish my car was running right. I'll try and give you a harder time next year . Come on down to TWS in March! Hopefully I can get my car sorted in time for Hallet this year as well. CIS is starting to **** me off a little .

Niels,
That would be great, HPR wasn't the same without you.
