I'm glad we finally got it in the books, thats for sure.
We had a great turnout, with 26 cars making passes down the track. As mentioned, we had some rain start just after tech inspection opened. The rain moved past fast, but other things moved slow, mostly due to the required ambulance not being on site. After that was all figured out we lost some time, so Melissa said we could stay as late as we wanted to and even said we could jump into the night-time TnT if anyone wanted. Jerry treated the group to a whole bunch of pizza on his dime, and that was awesome.

We got racing just before 1 and people just started making laps. The weather was wildly different than it usually is this time in October, and temps were about 78 with a D.A. of 1800 and higher. Still, some cars were hot lapping the track, while goofballs like me were experimenting with adjustments. I really should have tried to take more action photos, but I'm glad that Jerry jumped in to do just that; awesome photo album.

I made 10 passes total, but I think there were a few cars that got around 20 passes, or more! One of the racers there had a buddy who brought a drone and he got some footage. Here's a link to his videos:
