OK as silly season approaches, maybe we can keep closer to racing than the bench...
Here's my runoffs video.
As I explained elsewhere, this was my first trip to RA and was terrified of the kink. My fastest lap through there was just staying right behind someone at their speed. I haven't actually counted, but I think I had about 20 laps or so before the race started. Just way faster than anything I've run before and I wasn't up for it in the alloted time. Next year...
Additionally, my fancy suspension could not take all the curbing at RA, and the heim joints on the front and rear right side control arms started backing out during my final qualifier. As I wasn't smart enough to check them before the race started, I had a terrible loose off condition that just got worse lap after lap, until I was convinced I had a tire going flat.
Upon inspection after the race, the front and rear wheels were actually moving back and forth an inch or so. Who knows what the toe was doing.
Anyway, excuses aside, here's my video for your enjoyment.

Please post yours so mine isn't the only one we're laughing at all winter.
