Season opener.

The first time the car has been turned loose this year. The first time testing many modifications, the first time with truly sticky tires, the first time in the faster Blue "advanced" run group. What a day it was. I was feeling a little sick and just couldn't get into the rhythm of things. The car also had a few mechanical problems that prevented me from participating in all run groups. But in doing so it did reaffirm a belief I've long held.

Don't force things. If they're supposed to happen they will. When things start stacking up and you find yourself having to rush, cut corners, or not proceed with the normal amount of caution then there is probably trouble on the horizon.

My Miata, PJ's S2000, Bart's S2000

I decided Bart's car needed some more masking tape so people knew who was following them.

 BEE! AY! ARR! TEE!

Bart's tape needed constant adjusting and replacement. It was flying off the car down the main straight.

A beautiful Nevada day.

Battered and bruised, our cars make their way home.

The longest the S2000 was behind me all day.

Love it or hate it. Just call it the Bartmobile.

When tires are hot, and sticky and decide to grab the fender, bad things happen. Take note hellaflush kids.

PJ gives me an official Chinaroll fender service. What a sweet heart.
