If I was a newspaper, I'd be out of business.

 Last weekend was hot in the pits. Bloody hot (think crucible). I was sitting in a tin box in the baking sun, wearing a helmet, neckbrace and full fireproof suit. I was thinking, "CANT BREATHE!" and "MUST GET OUT OF CAR!" We were in the lineup waiting to go out for hotlaps (practice) and I literally wigged out. One icepack to the head later and it was all good. I think my brain felt like it was going to be cooked or something, but from now on if its hot I'm waiting till the last minute to put the helmet on.

If you read last weeks post, you'll know I was having problems with the rev limiter. Well I got bigger tires for longer legs and my car looked like a moon buggy! It also handled like a moon buggy. The car I know just wasn't there, if I tried to dig into a corner it was spin city, dude. I timed in with a HIDEOUS 17.9 seconds. Wound up in another C dash with #47 on my ass again. Repeat. I won it again and I have no idea how. The car was so dialed out. I switched back to the old tires and I got my car back. My only problem now, since the rev thingy seems fixed, is I slide way deep in the corners. I need stickier tires but I think maybe I'm coming in a bit hot too. Anyway, it opens up my inside and there is all the chance you need to take me out. Rick took the heat and then he got the B main too edging me out by not bloody much. I just couldn't get by that 240sx once he got my inside line. Billy had a huge hangover and a headache from hell. A really great situation if you're in the hot sun wearing the gear whilst being exposed to many howling engines at full RPM. In this state he managed to win the A main in a long, long battle with a bloodthirsty Kris McKenzie in #29 the Nissan NX. The prelude prevailed but it was a hunt. The guy who came in third, Wayne Lakerveld #77 wound up getting lapped by these guys towards the end. Now I don't feel so bad. There are no pics this time as I feel just too damn lazy to do anything about it, so sorry about that. Maybe later. For now, more beer.
