Had another great time racing last weekend with the NASA Texas American Iron/Camaro Mustang Challenge series.

With all the move and everything I only had time to make the Saturday sessions.  I got to the track on Friday to try and get the car sorted out early but the rain was crazy all day.  About 6 of us got there by midday and had lunch together.  I finally just unloaded around 5PM and headed home hoping the rain would stop..."it can't rain all the time".

Saturday, woke to no rain at home..yeahh!...as we drove to the track (2 hour drive), it started to rain...nooooo!!!

Sure enough light rain through the early morning made for a VERY wet track...I punted on practice session...those that ventured out had fun but no real practice on any lines or braking...just too goofey slick.  MSR Cresson is one of the slickest tracks in the country when it is dry.,..crazy slick when it is wet.

Qualifying was interesting...I did a 4 tank slapper on my out lap.  Kept her on the track though :)  I think someone has some video of my *adventure* - I'll post when I find it.

Finally just decided to just drift the turns and then it got fun!!

Race 1 was pretty slick but we managed decent laps.  I finished 3rd in class...which is not that big a deal since there were only four AI cars out that weekend...we did have the largest field of CMC cars though...20 cars so the field was a good size and made for great racing on a 1.7 mile track.

I managed to finally get my wheels under me and made a run for 2nd place in the last lap...me and the #132 had a cool drag race to the checkered flag and he inched me out by .2 seconds.

We had an inverted start for Race 2...which put me outside pole - only the pole sitter chose outside so I got inside!!

Yeah well don't get to excited...I screwed it up...I had 1st place for all of about half a second and then a comedy of errors dropped me back to last in class and I think 7th overall?

I fought back through the field and actually finished in 2nd place in class and got the 4th fastest lap time of the race...so not too shabby for a Rookie

Lots to learn but I am making progress!!

I've uploaded some in-car from last weekend.  Sadly I had camera issues for the first race so nothing there.  Window cam did not like the high capacity stick I had and ...er...hmmm. forgot to load tape into the in-car camera

 ...too bad since the track was pretty wet and made for a lot of *drama* during that race.

Just to show my humility and hopefully so others can learn from my mistakes, I've uploaded a great 3 step program to losing 1st place....do what I say...not what I do
