I'm in run group 1 for the 29th, so I likely won't be there for the late run runs

No embarrassment there though, I rode with gagan and he nearly missed it his first run, and If I wasnt working T4 with 5 ride alongs, I possibly would have missed it as well

He did good in the fun runs at the end though :RockOn - not mine:

Silly was a strong word, it was just funny watching the T5 workers getting ready to sprint on his 3rd run =P
I missed it because I goofed the turn before and it ruined my concentration.

I didn't miss a beat after that. I didn't feel the course was too hard. Well, no course is too difficult.

The harder the course, the more you will learn and the faster you will get better. But you have to be committed to learning and getting faster. My previous 2 seasons helped me get to where i am this season, but I've been giving it much more concentration this season, and already it's paying off. Commit yourself, and you will grow.

Thanks for the tips

Yeah, I'm gonna try to leave my car alone for awhile mod wise and just spend all my $$$ on entry fees to get a lot of seat time so I won't be a anymore :RockOn - not mine:

Sorry I didnt get to meet all of you out there, I recognized quite a few cars, but don't know the drivers
your time has been dropped because you have been classified as DNW (Did not work)....if you did work you should send them an email and let them know.

Email Pat Kelly about it. Her email is at the bottom of the results page. My times were originally dropped even though I did work. A quick email fixed that.
