having fun

we made winter haven on thursday about 12:00. we found an "old school" carwash in town and got rid of the dirt and grime. these guys were fantastic.

move in thursday and friday testing

the title series is run like a well oiled machine. pit boss tom cronk met us at the gate and had us in place and setting up within minutes. everyone makes us feel at home. nice to see a our fellow region buddy dwight pitted right across from us. welcome party at the days in was a blast. we started out by watching capsule training at poolside in 80 degree sunshine. how cool was that.

testing went well today. lee made a good first run and we made a couple small changes. second test ended a little sooner than we wanted as a chunk of something found it's way into a carb. that being resolved we should be ready to run first thing tomorrow.

hope our friends back home enjoy some of these pictures.

race results

That was a great stroke of luck !!

Will they be streaming this event ? Would hate to not see you guys run .

hey steve,

i don't think i've noticed anyone with live equipment. i'm going to try to post updates as to the results as quick as i can tomorrow.

this is my first title series so i'm excited to see the racing. 3 heats & 4 laps is all new to me. i'll try to post results the best i can. i know it won't hold a candle to dean and the crew at MHRA but i'll try. laurie has gotten pretty good with the video camera. i'm sure we can get something posted. possibly a link to her facebook or youtube. maybe we can put her in touch with dan @ hrtv?
