yesterday, sat wind was 5 on the nose at 8am, climbing to low 20's from FR around noon, dropped to teens in the late pm, Racing was halted at dusk, still windy. Gust was higher.
We had an EZ-up incident at mid day, thanks to the crowd at TFA Central only one was toast (Jason from dallas)
Oh well.
Still Bill got his 270!!!!!! Tom Gates had issues, a gremlin or 2, but his bike sounds and looks great. We have big hopes for him today!!!
Doug got a 197 in the morning and 195 in the afternoon on my 12, bike sounds awesome, and doug rode perfect agressive passes; fukken wind.
Brenda had a crazy wind experience during shut down, was hoppin' & poppin' around the Pits afterwards OMG-OMG-OMG.
Wild Bill & JC coppertop turbo running in the 190's, practically no one running like they want.
I got a 216.7 on the green Busa on first pass, lit tire up bad (good? ) outa the hole.
Lambos are a treat to watch run, they have so much hp (1500+?), some are having traction issues as far down the track as we can see. There are 6+?? of em. An orange one apparently had too short of a chute line and the ass end was lifted off the ground during shut down, rolled lotsa times, driver OK. Subsequent track shutdown screwed my chance for a 2nd pass in the am.
The number of participants and spectators is off the charts. Too damn long grid waits, people everywhere. Kids n dogs, kids n dogs...
Organizers let too many participants in this time, but Today, Sunday should be lighter.
Wind forecast for today is 6-9mph at 9am, incr to 9-13 miday slowly tapering offf in the pm.
TFA will be as close to the front of the initial grid as we can get.
