Even though we were able to take the checker for Saturday's race, the crafty ol' Fossil (Bob Schaeder) got me on Sunday and I promised to post it here for all to see... But Bob & I
ALL got Skirted by Cindi Lux!
Sunday at Pueblo was a hoot and started out with yet another track record falling in qualifying with Lux, White & Schaeder all in under the old record set Saturday by White
Lux 1:38.95
White 1:39.447
Schaeder 1:39.69
Snodgrass 1:42 sumthin
Ash 1:44 sumthin
Moran 1:45 Sumthin
At the drop of the green Lux set sail and never looked back to see Schaeder & I go hammer & tong with GT1 cars. We were tied together for at least 6 laps until Schaeder was able to pull out a lead of a few tenths and so it went for the rest of the race. Bob & I accordianed from a few tenths to a couple seconds with traffic right to the checker and the top 3 cars all ran under the track record.
Unfortunately Chris experienced some type of electrical problem on lap 3 filling his car with smoke and causing a dnf
Ryan really stepped it up for his second race weekend in his new NayKid Hot Rod and was closer to the front than ever dropping over 2 seconds off his Saturday times!
Amedee & Bob switched cars for Sunday but kept the same tires & wheels. Bob was on S04 Hoosiers and only ran 2 abreviated qualifying sessions and the 2 races.
Amedee was on S03's & Chris was on S04's and they both ran the test day and used at least 2 sets of tires (Chris on Victo's for test day)
The NayKid cars were on Victoracers all weekend.
P1 Lux (NayKid/KUMHO/Kodiak Car)
New Lap Record 1:39.43
P2 Schaeder (DRM/Hoosier/Kodiak Car) 1:39.69
P3 White (Naykid/KUMHO/Kodiak Car) 1:39.96
P4 Snodgrass (NayKid/KUMHO/Kodiak Car) 1:41.86
P5 Moran (Phoenix/Hoosier/Fikse Car) 1:44.89
P6 (dnf) Ash (McGhee/Hoosier/CCW Car) 1:45.4
Congrats to Cindi, none of us had anything for her on Sunday she was FLAWLESS! AND, she came away with
BOTH Qualifying & Race lap records!
We did miss having our new 710 tire but I guess this ol' Victoracer aint dead yet...
Look out for Ryan by Sprints, this guy is comin...
The weather was fantastic except for the wind which howelled all day Sunday to the point where we had a very nerve wracking time (and somewhat dangerous) taking down our awning even though we had 10 people working on it and our own aerodynamisist (sp? Will Vasser) helping us decide how to go about it
It was scary as hell with a steady breeze
of about 40 knots and gusting even higher! We got it down with only 1 rip, a couple cut straps & 1 bent pole. If we never have to do that again it will be too soon...
It was a great time and the hospitality of the RM Region was fantastic, we were treated very well! We got to see Tommy (aqua joe's bro) and now we can see why the Pensylvania gang treks all the way out there every year. What a fun track!
The Rockey Mountain gang are a class act, witty as hell and fun to hang with and when the green flag drops it's time to rock & roll these guys get it on with no whining. We raced close enough to smash a pack of cigarettes between us lap after lap with no favors given but no banging either, truly a great bunch of guys and great sports to say the least
To borrow a line from Pappa Joe,
"Is T1 Racing the BEST, or What?!?"

What a great bunch of GREAT Sports!
