Re: drift
Stephan,I believe waving to the crowd slowed you down that 1/10th of a second...

Re: drift
That not a tenth -- that's 1/100th of a second. Just raising his eyebrow at the crowd would do it.breakaway500 wrote:Stephan,I believe waving to the crowd slowed you down that 1/10th of a second...

Re: drift
Egads..right you are... 1/100th of a second over a 4 mile track. Probably could not do that again even if they wanted to....

Re: drift
Thanks Stephan, I really wanted to go but work is thin right now so I can't past anything up maybe next year. It will be great to be on track next week after a long winter.

Re: drift
I concentrated specifically on my not-waving technique to make up that 1/100 of a second on Stephan
Re: drift
Oh now I unerstand, I was thinking you were just being rude by not waving to us.

All kidding aside, I have had close call like that before. All I can say is: IT'S FUN, I'd take 2nd place like that ANY DAY over and over again because that is as close and competitive as it can get.

Re: drift
It was definitely a ton of fun - an excellent time trial and a great event at Monticello
