Since I stayed the longest due to being in the finals, I'll chime in first. Anybody please correct me if I screw up. And I'll leave it to everybody else to tell how they did and what they thought of the deal. How'd I do? I lost to Shane Landers in the finals. He and his dad got byes during the elims and I had to race every round, so I don't feel to bad. Actually in the first round, I ran a 14.11 on a 14.10 dial!
For those who don't yet know, we had one hell of a turnout, especially for this being a local event and no class for us to race in. But, we were able to sufficiently impress the owner and organizers that they made a Lightning class for us to race in on Sunday.
I believe we had 8 Lightnings for T&T on Friday night, about 12 or so on Saturday and at the cruise on Sat night. It was hard to get a count, since some were there on Sat or Sun only, or just showed at the cruise. We ran either Time Only or in the Gamblers race on Sat. They really didn't know what to do with all these Lightnings.
So came Sunday we ran in our own Lightning class with trophy class bracket rules (dial-your-own, .500 tree). It was HOT HOT and HUMID HUMID. And so was the racing, and interest in the trucks and in the club. Jeff, you'll probably get some new members from this. I think a good time was had by all, the company and the racing was great. And even in the heat and humidity, I improved my time just a tad.
Lastly, I want to thank everybody for coming and supporting our efforts.
